Female mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and not UV light, so zappers
have been shown in several studies to be ineffective.
See

The usual advice applies. Remove sources of standing water, shower before
observing, light colored clothing, long sleeves and pants, repellent with DEET.
But there is certainly no silver bullet solution though silver bullets would certainly do the job
if you could afford them.
