Best Answer

find the puddle of standing water they come from and poison it Or you try to find them and squash them You will never totally get rid of mosquitoes; however get rid of all standing water. Gutters are a prime spot for them to lay eggs, so make sure you clean them also. If you have large areas of water that you can not drain, get yourself some mosquite dunks. They lay in the water and destroy mosquito eggs. They are not harmful. http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/product/mosquito-dunks-6-pack

Put a few drops of Lemon Grass essential oil and some water into an oil burner. The mosquitoes don't like it for some reason, so they stay away. It smells good too!

While it does not get rid of mosqitos per se, the mosquitos won't bite you (and really that is all I am concerned about). Get your clothes smokey (like from a camp fire) and wear them that way. Mosquitos don't like smoke and will not come near you if you smell like it.
