Also of note, pyrethrins are poisonous to cats and dogs (cats are more sensitive to it than dogs), so it's best not to use them in close proximity to your pet.
One tip I've heard from people in areas where even *these* don't work is to get a large fan and blow it in the general direction everyone will be sitting. Mosquitoes can't handle flying in much more than a light breeze, so they'll never be able to reach you. Of course that doesn't work if you're in the backwoods or something, but for backyard hangs, I've heard it's hard to beat.
Another option that will work in your back yard are mosquito dunks. Get a bucket or barrel of water and place it in a far corner of your property. Drop a mosquito dunk in there and when mosquito are attracted to, land, and lay eggs, the larva are quickly killed by a bacteria in the dunk. It's targeted, environmentally friendly, and it works well from what I've heard. You can even "revive" the dunk next year by adding water to the bucket again.
This is why many people recommend active deterrents or poisons for the ones flying today. Then you kill them and their kids.
I bought dunks, and have used them. I think they work well. But they only last a month. So at the start of each month I'm checking buckets and adding dunks

I was gonna buy one, but his has micro-USB for charging and I'm not going anywhere but USB-C nowadays. It's the "printer" economic model so tech is cheap but the proprietary cartridges are where they plan to make their money. Might bite the bullet on one if visiting SE Asia, nasty mosquitoes there.
