Preferred methods for murdering mosquitoes

[Reptisect]

So it's summer here and I've had it up to my neck with mosquitoes!!! I can't get rid of the things! Does anyone have a tarantula-friendly- mosquito- killing method that doesn't involve squashing them?

Exclusion or repellents are usually successful. I use Cutter.

Thanks! I'll add it to my list.

I usually only manage to kill mosquitoes after they’ve already bit me and it always involves a white wall and me being yelled at shortly after….

If you're "always late to the game" with mosquitoes consider one of these

If you want a repellant here's a tried and trusted recipe
1 part citronella oil
1 part baby oil
1 part dettol or any other liquid antiseptic

mix all 3 ingredients together in a spray bottle and just spray any skin that isnt covered by clothing, be careful around your eyes please.

The way it works is, citronella keeps mozzies away

Dettol is antiseptic if you do get bit

And baby oil helps the skin to absorb the concoction......good luck

My favorite method is to sit out back with a six pack and watch the bats and the purple martins take 'em out for me. I recommend Spaten....or Grolsch

I trained my tarantulas to free roam around the house and be able to sense the specific vibrations of musky toe wings.

Same, but just my arboreal slings

I enjoy shooting them with my Bug-A-Salt salt gun.

I also plant marigolds, basil, lavender, bee balm, and citronella in patio planters with great success at keeping the blood suckers away.
