	        |      I need a mosquito solution that works RIGHT NOW!!!!       
			
			Im sick of these little fuckers. Richmond is full of these assholes and i cant even enjoy my deck or let my little dogs out without them getting stung everywhere.    
What works!? i tried those Johnson and Johnson clipons (useless). Hardcore DEET sprays (good but they discolor clothing and im sure they are poisonous to dogs). Somebody told me i should buy a mechanical mosquito trap but i dont even know which one.     
help me revscene you're my only hope.

			Your blood is too yummy.   
Maybe go out in the afternoon, if you're out in the evening when the sun starts setting then try those LED light traps

			Yeah, I hate those bloodsuckers too.     
Have you tried lemon eucalyptus oil? It's a great mosquito repellent and safe for the environment.   
Citronella works well too.    http://www.davidsuzuki.org/publicati...010/bugoff.pdf

			+1 On the LED zappers   
You hang them up and listen to them sizzle. 
The radius is pretty good.

			Here you go brah   Bug Zappers & Mosquito Traps | Canadian Tire 
Grab yourself a Racket Bug Zapper while you're at it    
Side note even if you get a more pricey one its a good investment. A buddy of mine leaves his on at night when he goes to bed to it zaps whatever is still lingering inside the home and its most effective when all lights are turned off

Plus im worried if my dog licks anything with that stuff on it, she'll die a horrible doggie death.

	        |     Homemade mosquito yard spray is cheap, effective and easy-to-do 
"1 bottle of blue mint mouthwash (you can buy any big bottle of mouthwash you like, no matter how cheap it is. For example, “Equate Blue Mint Mouthrinse”) 
3 bottles (per 12 oz) of stale beer (take the cheapest – it works as well) 
3 cups of Epsom salt"

			Remove any standing water from on or around your property, they create mosquito breeding grounds.   
Get a good mosquito trap, the ones that generate CO2 are the best.

			Lol I love being out with people who are afraid of deet, let them get bit.    
The LED zappers and citronella don't do shit. The only other thing that actually works in my experience is a skeeter vac which is great if you have a big enough yard and $300
