Help with Flies & Mosquitoes - Need Deterrent

[SwellCindy]

Please help.

Every year as soon as the weather turns nice until winter, our yard/back lawn attracts flies & mosquitoes. There are no flowers, just a bit of grass and concrete. We keep weeds (ours - the neighbors don't really care...) to a minimum and make sure there is no food or standing water ever, but no matter what we try they keep coming back. It is such a nice cozied-up space that it's a pity we don't fully enjoy it.

Anyone out there with suggestions for a tried & true method that may deter insects outdoors? We tried many bug sprays from Home Depot, poured bleach, and vinegar as well.

Much appreciated.

It’s prob worth it to hire a service that comes down and sprays the yard, it’s worth it.

Better to avoid using toxic substances where children can be exposed.

@mushkovits thanks for you're reply, and others who replied as well, did you try this trap personally? Wondering if it works well.
