Hi Diana,
Yes, Wisconsin is well known for this problem. I saw a fogger advertised in a catalog. Just have to wait an hour. Then it works for @6 hours. Good idea about cleaning out the underbrush. Didn’t realize mosquitoes lay their eggs in that stuff. Frankly, bats would be the easiest solution if their house can be put high enough in the trees to keep kids and pets safe. But how would you know if they are going to “eat” in your yard vs. all your neighbors’?
Also didn’t know mosquitoes can’t “see” white clothing. Easy to wear but that means pants for ladies who often prefer flip flops and dresses for evenings out. These are all doable so thank you for taking the time to write back!

I hope it helps!
The underbrush just shelters them during the heat of the day; they just hang out there and fool around with one another. It’s like a Singles Club for Mosquitoes, LOL!
They need STILL WATER for laying eggs and making more mosquitoes. Jerks.
As for bats, since they devour so many, they can take care of your yard and pretty much the whole neighborhood. :)
