Move to the desert! I haven't heard or seen one of those buggers for the last 10 years.
May 'the Google' be with you!

He wanted to know how to fight them though... not avoid them
I stand by tiny pointy sticks or perhaps tiny swords. Tiny guns would be unfair as they can't hold those well with their little feet.

We have to be very careful not to get bitten where I live because mosquitoes may carry west nile virus. So we try to avoid being outdoors for long periods of time especially at night. There are normally a few deaths in my area each year from those insects. I don't know what affect they have on bats, who love to eat them.

A few deaths each year in your area alone? Eek.

best way to fight mosquitoes is with a TLA: DDT
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

A thing that works well is spray-starch, sold for starching your shirts. I used one of those by accident one night, and the next morning found a lot of the pest unable to fly with rather stiff wings.
