Tiger Mosquitoes - any tips?

Less people are out in the backyard than last winter when it was 5 degrees. The reason are probably Tiger Mosquitoes which are super aggressive all day. I didn´t spot any standing water around. I´d zap all night long but there is too much collateral damage. $400 vacuum traps, fans …. what´s your trick?

We use OFF lanterns and they work very well for about 3-4 hours– we use them every 20 feet or so. Also bringing a medium to large fan outside will also create a “breeze” that should keep most away.
