I need to find a way to get rid of mosquitoes!!!!!! It has been a very wet spring, and they are ferocious out there. Any ideas?

We don't have any ponds or major standing water on the property, but we do have woods, and since it has rained so much, I'm sure there are plenty of puddles and wet vegetation for mosquitoes to breed in.

I have a variety of animals here, so I don't want to use anything toxic. I have heard of using garlic granules/sprays such as Mosquito Barrier or Mosquito Beater. Any comments on those and their effectiveness?

I've also heard of using natural repellents such as citronella, lemon juice, cedar, apple cider vinegar...I think there are some sprays with those ingredients that you can use? I wonder if you have to use massive amounts, though.

I don't really have anywhere to plug in a Mosquito Magnet. I've heard mixed reviews about them, too. Not sure what I think.

All I know is that I want the mosquitoes to go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
