Oh boy, the ones in my backyard are unaffected. I have one of the "camper" models which screws onto an isobutane canister.

Has anyone tried thier big liquid cartridge units? Any advice on fighting these girls other than removing water sources and wearing bug spray (already doing it).

I've been intending to try a mosquito dunk this summer. It's a tablet that you toss into a bucket of water with some grass which is apparently very attractive to lay eggs in that the tablet prevents from hatching. I can't vouch for effectiveness yet.

I have some of these. I might find a bucket and try this strategy.
