Honestly I get why the trap sounds appealing but I'd be careful before dropping that kind of money. Those propane traps can actually pull mosquitoes from like a whole block away, so you might be making your yard worse if your neighbors aren't running them too. Plus they're loud and you gotta refill the propane all the time, it's not exactly set it and forget it. I've had way more luck just attacking the breeding spots, dumping standing water and keeping the grass short, that did more for me than any gadget. And for the kids, a cheap box fan on the patio does wonders, mosquitoes just can't fly in that breeze, no chemicals needed lol.

Wait till the brass threads seize up and you're stuck with a permanent leak.

Buddy of mine from work swears by using a bent paperclip for eating string cheese. Says it gives him something to do with his hands while he nibbles. He even keeps one in his lunchbox, which is weirdly dedicated. Tried it once and almost stabbed my gums, so I'll stick with my hands on that one. But hey, whatever keeps the mess away.
