If pesky mosquito bites and other bothersome flying insects are bothering you, you may be searching for ways to kill mosquito swarms near your home or campsite.  Having a family reunion spoiled because you are spending your time swatting away pests is surely no fun at all!  There are many remedies and choices to kill mosquito adults as well as their larvae.

You can purchase a mosquito trap for placement outside your home or near your campsite.  These traps will kill mosquito swarms by attracting them using decoy scents that mimic human odors.  The mosquitoes will be vacuumed into the unit where they will be killed.  Traps should be placed away from where humans are, and in a shady area where mosquitoes might gather.  You might also want to purchase another unit that will repel mosquitoes from your picnic table or barbeque area and patio.

Another way to kill mosquito adults is to use foggers or sprays.  If you are looking for a way to simply avoid mosquitoes as you are hiking or fishing, you should use a repellent that blocks the human odors which mosquitoes are attracted to.  Some people find that simply placing a candle or torch, which burns citronella oil, to be enough of a deterrent for flying insects.
