    I am not sure if this is available in the US but we have used a product
    called PIC. It is a green coil, you light it and it smolders and kills any
    mosquitos that are in the area. It works best inside but we have used it on
    a still night outside. It has a bit of a pungent smell, but I have never
    noticed it on clothing, unlike cigarette smoke. It is safe for use around
    humans and animals. (I am blaming the 3rd eye in my forehead on fall out
    from Chernobel) I know we have used it since the mid 60s when it first came
    out.

    I can't remember who makes it but it comes in a box about 5"x5"x1". There
    will be 6 or 8 coils inside and a small tin stand that you have to bend.
    This holds the coil while it smolders. Once all the mosquitos are gone you
    can snuff out the rest of the coil for use later.

    No connection etc etc

    Do you realize that in about 40 years we will have thousands of old ladies
    running around with tattoos and pierced navels?
