The strategy is to place small bowls of water with dunk all around your open areas. The water attracts the mosquitos, their larvae die in it.

Are those dunks toxic? Because you can just spray vegetable oil on the surface of a container of water set out to attract the mosquitoes, which cuts off the oxygen supply in the water, killing the mosquito larvae.

And there were experiments done in a part of Africa about 20 years ago, where dengue and malaria are prevalent, where they found that setting out fermented fruit juice, which, along with fermented flower juice, is the main diet of mosquitoes, with some boric acid in it, knocked the mosquito population down by 90% in a week! I have an article about it from the science section of  the Vancouver Sun that I saved and still have somewhere.

A follow-up to your question.
