Does anyone have experience with those propane powered mosquito eradicators?

I've got a E36 M3 load of ivy around my yard (or maybe its something else that they love so much) and the little bastards make it a pain to be outside. I've tried some powder/pellet stuff, with not real good results.

Looking for a solution.

No personal experience, but a co worker has one and loves it.

It might not work, but the placebo effect of the thought that you're murdering thousands of the bastards might be worth the coin.

They can't fly too well so use some standup oscillating fans to generate wind and they'll generally stay away.

Also any puddles or standing water in the area is the main breeding ground for them, so clean those up and you'll have a reduction in the bastards.

What if I just don't exhale? Would that still work?

Hahaha. My wife was telling me, at increasing levels of irritation, that dinner was ready. Out of sheer terror I forgot to post the link.

Here you go.
