Last summer, my backyard was a mosquito rock concert. From July
through late September it was almost impossible to use my yard, late
day or night.

There's no standing water. I'm told that it's because of all my
tomato plants, which attract male mosquitos, which attract the biting
females. Whatever, I'm growing even more tomatoes this year and I'd
like to be able to go outside without being an insect feast and also
without dousing myself in Deet.

I'm looking for something to kill the little buggers. I'm told that
conventional bug zappers don't work well with mosquitos. Some
neighbors have built bat houses but I'm also told that mosquitos
aren't a favorite dish for bats either.

Any reasonable ideas?
