Lids and mosquito dunks. The dunks are not harmful to pets or humans, but prevent mosquitos.
I also avoid going out at dusk, when the skeeters would be out, and always wear light weight long sleeves. If out at night we use the anti skeeters candles, but that’s just a precaution, since one never knows what the neighbors or vacant lots may be breeding.
There are also plants that deter them from around an area, including basil. So I plant that around the patio.
Thank you for this great info, greeneyes. Will try it.
