Carport with no sunshine need best way to get rid of mosquitos?


i have a dark carport that comes straight to my front door. the mosquitos are terrible. what is best way to rid them.

In a spray bottle, mix 1 tablespoon lemon dishwashing liquid, 1 tablespoon lemon scented ammonia, and water. Spray around your door and the walls of the house/garage. Dump any standing water in your yard to prevent breeding.

Hi Brenda...I'm not sure about carports , but if you out in mosquito country place a fabric softener (like you use in your dryer) sheet in your pocket and you won't be bothered with mosquitos.
Hang some around your carport.And door.

Keep you carport dry, look fo any standing water...puddles, old tires that has collected water, old bucket. These are the places mosquitoes breed, get rid of them.
