There's apparently a lot of affection between bats and mosquitoes

But don't worry. Bats eat mozzies, germs carried by mozzies get digested in bat stomach and are killed.

Maybe you could run around with a sharpened tiny straw and suck their blood for a change.
May 'the Google' be with you!

To get rid of mosquitos.....bring in the infantry...the Mother of All Bombs...or perhaps..Russia'sclaim of the King of all Bombs...that ought to get rid of these pests...actually, i know people who burn the skin of orange and it seems to work...not recomend to burn depending on where you live...
I shot the sheriff....but I didn't shoot the deputy

A flamethrower seems potentially effective... and if not, at least it'll be fun

I believe a nice big nuclear detonation about 100 ft above the ground should fix them pesty insects.

hmm, why do you post a picture of a very small nuclear explosion when talking about a big one?

Now THIS is a BIG nuclear explosion (Ivy Mike, 12MT)

PS, what you posted was a photo of a test of a nuclear artillery shell. Sub-kiloton range.
