Has anyone here tried a bug zapper? I've been eyeballing this one.

Since it uses a mosquito attractant, it should avoid the usual problem with these things: not actually killing the bugs you want it to kill.

The mosquitos are just terrible in my backyard, but I don't want to use these chemical-based services. The services that work at all use a combination of garlic spray and hardcore chemicals (garlic alone does not do the job for long). There's no way I'm exposing my family and my dog to that (we once got a "pet safe" lawn treatment that made my dog sick for a week, not going through that again).

He meant bug zapper. Like https://www.amazon.com/Flowtron-BK-40D-Electronic-Insect-Coverage/dp/B00004R9VW/ref=asc_df_B00004R9VW/

I just bought one. It’s nice.

Seems like a table would be in the splash zone but it's definitely doable.

I bought a Flowtron and a bottle of Mosquito Barrier from Amazon. I put the Flowtron far out towards the edge of the yard to attract the mosquitos and sprayed the lawn with the Mosquito Barrier (about a 30 ft perimeter) to repel the mosquitos away from the house. They've worked great for me. I can sit on the deck and grill or just sit with no issues.

Tried and true

Buy two of these. They will wreck the mosquitoes near your house. You’ll have to clean them every 2-3 days since they’ll be covered in dead ones. I’ve got one on each side of my house and the mosquito bites have virtually disappeared since I put them up!
