edit: bat boxes, water-fish traps and having birds around will certainly reduce mosquito population ... but there will be still lots of them around. A laser can take them (allmost) all out ...
Oh and about the water: if you just have open water around with no fish in it ... then the mosquitos will love that, btw.. So taking care, that there is no open water around, when it is hot, helps also a lot ... but I still want my laser turret.
I noticed in South East Asia it was common to keep a water feature in the yard with one or more fish in it.
Mosquitos land on the water to lay eggs and are immediately eaten by the fish.
The water feature could be quite small. Sometimes just a large vase in a shady location with no aeration pump or filter (the water needs to be stagnant) and a few goldfish.
Not bad ... but the fans do make noise. Which is OK for a party with music anyway, but for something more romantic - not so much. At least not for me ...
