Anyone tried a Dynatrap?  I always have them bad, but this year has been awful with all the rain.  Give me some relief.

This comes up weekly on r/austin and anything other than dunks will get crushed by the pro-pollinators.  
 

I’ve tried everything aside from bullshit suggestions on r/austin that clearly don’t work*, including dunks, and the only thing that worked was permethrin fogging.  I’m loath to kill the butterflies, but I also can’t have my kids getting eaten alive when they go swimming or outside briefly without bug spray.  

*building bat houses, Purple Martin houses, releasing dragon flies, planting certain grasses or herbs like  marigold or citronella

Thanks LCHorn. I am sympathetic to the pollinators but damn it sucks to sit in the house and stare at a pool through the screened in porch because the mosquitos have taken over the back yard. And I would have to spray my neighbors' areas too. I have all the good stuff--permethrin and bifen.

I tried everything sold at Home Depot and Amazon, including the BioGents Mosquitaire, Tom‘s Mosquito TNT (worse, I misread the website and purchased four boxes of four traps, not just four traps), Spartan Mosqito Tubes, and anything Costco sells (like the Dynatrap-it’ll kill some moths for you while the mosquitos fly on by).  We’ve also done barefoot mosquitos “non toxic” fogging.
 

The only thing I haven’t tried (that I know about) is Mosquito Magnet (uses propane to bait mosquitos).
