Has anyone has performed a mosquito treatment using the method outlined below? It seems like there is a lot of potential chemical exposure to the applicator, but if effective, I suppose the risk can be mitigated with better PPE.

Maybe consider growing some insect-repellent plants in your backyard. Chrysanthemums, rosemary, oregano, lavender, lemon balm, mint, catnip, etc I have noticed that if there are eucalyptus trees there are fewer bugs around.

Plants require upkeep. Not interested.
I use " Cutter Backyard Bug Control". It's a bottle that attaches to a garden hose. Seems to work ok for me.

Well for bugs and other undesirables - I do the yard spray mentioned (hose style) mints and rosemary - add lemon dish soap to weed killer - a bit of malathion - and ambush them with a Burgess fogger …
It needs to be pretty high up. But if bats do start to live it it they will take care of mosquitoes.
I was reading a report about outdoor bug zappers. They analyzed the bugs that were zapped and 99% were not bitting bugs. One suggestion was an outdoor fan at table height (I think) as mosquitoes are not great flyers and a fan will push them away.
Around here I think they put up traps to lure either the male or female mosquito (can't remember which) and that cuts down reproduction and less mosquitoes.
Remove sources of standing water if there are any. Those are the biggest contributors to a mosquito problem.
I have two Mosquito Magnets and they work. Use a tank of propane every 18 days though for each, plus the baits. We are able to go outside during the day and the Asian Tiger Mosquitoes aren't a bother anymore.

These work and was going to suggest it. You can get a mist blower and spray but it targets all bugs and not just mosquito's.I have two Mosquito Magnets and they work.
