There are pest control companies that will fog your property which supposedly reduces the mosquito population. I'm skeptical though that me paying for the service will make a difference unless all of my neighbors do as well.
I can't find it now, but I remember reading about a person that used a box fan, some type of mesh fabric, and dry ice to create an insect trap that was apparently catching pounds of bugs every week.
Yeah growing up in the Florida Keys, our county did this on a county level. They used to use DC-3s to fly super low and fog the entire island but it was found that the pesticide was bad for fishes so they switched to truck based fogging. As as a kid I loved seeing the DC-3s because it would mean relief from mosquitos for a long time.

It's hard to imagine people being okay with actual chem trails...
I can't believe we would get fogged by those planes as we waited for our school buses. It would sting our eyes a little bit but then it was fine and all the mosquitos were dead. It's probably okay... I hope.
Passenger planes still get fogged on landing in some countries, with flight attendants walking the length of the isles with insecticide spraying out.
