Hi Dia,
  Good to hear from you again.  My friends on Sanibel Island have one of
those zappers, and they say that it is more effective against moths than
mosquitoes.  The mosquitoes are attracted to blood, not light.  Have you
considered buying a bat house and giving bats a chance at those
bloodsuckers?  They are active when mosquitoes are, and they eat huge
quantities of them.
                                                           TTYL, Jan
