There is no single magic fix. We use a fan, dump water weekly, wear light long sleeves at dusk and use repellent when needed. It is annoying, but layering works.

A fan on the patio works surprisingly well. Mosquitoes are weak flyers, and moving air also feels nice on hot evenings.

Remove standing water first. Buckets, plant saucers, clogged gutters and kids’ toys can all become mosquito spots. That helped more than candles for us.
