I put a half full paddling pool in the garden with a few drops of dog wash in it - the mozzies lay their eggs in it and they all die. This avoids the mozzies laying somewhere else like in drains etc and surviving.
Personal repellants are best left to limiting sweat, which they love, and keeping the skin oiled with baby oil - which you might not like yourself - they can't bite through a pore that is full of oil.
