Put out a dedicated standing water source but lace it with eco-friendly Bti that kills the larve. (It doesn’t harm people/pets/birds/other insects)

Human Body Hair can repel mosquitos, and other small insects.

An Industrial/Workshop fan and a bug net can kill thousands every night.
If you really want to go Ham then put a bucket of dry ice near the fan but you won’t need it.
