Dont know the name of the machine but it sprays a chemical. Not sure if you want that. I dont think there is much you can do other than light tiki torches with citronella.

Thanks ladies.
The machine she was talking about - she said did NOT use any chemicals - definitely do not want to use any with the kids.

I think the mosquito magnets don't use chemicals, they use a propane tank to mimic carbon monoxide to attract the mosquitos away from people. My brother has one of those, he says it works great. You can just google "mosquito magnets"
