Best mosquito repellant for porch area?

Honestly, I've had very little problem with skeeters. Front porch almost always has a light breeze. I have toads that live in the shrubs. In the early morning, just before sunrise, and at dusk, I'll have at least one bat. I've seen as many as 6 or so. They seem to be doing a good job

What is a good solution for a 16x16 porch?

Thanks.

Probably impractical, but works for me.

My cancer diet has made me LOAD UP on raw garlic. I have grown to love it, and it has done amazing things to my body chemistry. Mosquitos have the ability to "smell" your blood type, and they are voracious for mine. Normally, everyone else will be just sitting around and I will attract swarms of them and be so miserable I will have to go inside. Since going to a garlic rich diet, they don't bother me nearly as bad. In fact I am probably the least likely person in the group to be bitten.

Again, it may not be for you, but if you are like me and love garlic, the stuff is cheap and very potent.
 
Buy one of these:

Then mix 10oz permethrin to a gallon of diesel, kerosene, or fuel oil. Fog all around your porch once every two weeks for 3 months, then every month for 5 months, then not at all November through March . Do this same treatment anywhere you don’t want insects.

Note: this kills good bugs, too……

Don't have TrueGreen do it. They have treated ours several times this summer and last summer and the kids still end up with bites all over their legs and arms. :mad:

Don't know about True Green, but I used Mosquito Authority a few years ago. After their treatment, I could go anywhere in my yard, including that mosquito infested back corner (we all have one of those) and not nary a mosquito for the rest of the season.
Now for some reason this year I have seen almost no mosquitos at all, with NO treatment of any kind. Even at my little shooting place that you guys have seen in some of my vids. That may be due to the farmer spraying the crops out there. Go figure.
