We use Tiki Torches as well; works like a charm.  Usually by this time of year, though, the mosquitos seem to be gone  :-?

try a little device called Therma-Cell. They sell them at most outdoor stores including wal-mart. It works better than anything I have found. It is portable so use it in the woods when camping, hiking, fishing, etc. and it also keeps flies away.

I moved from IL so SoCal in 1993.  I knew the weather was better, but the best surprise was when I found out we don't have mosquitoes! (no fresh water lying around for them to breed in)

I still don't understand why SoCal does not have mosquitoes - SoCal certainly has yards with fresh water lying around for them to breek in.   :-?

Its simply a  trade off for no mosquitoes  you have to endure earthquakes, wildfires,& mudslides. ;)

We do?  Not in my neighborhood.  We got 5 inches of rain this year.  Puddles from a lawn sprinkler dry up quick.  I'm at the coast, inland is even dryer.

SoCal is a big desert.  We have ants & flies, (and fleas, man we got fleas)  but no mosquitoes.

My Sister is in Dallas.  They have some kind of mosquito misting system that they love.  It's this company: http://www.mosquitoforce.com/index.html

I took Big Dog's advice and went and bought the Therma-Cell unit yesterday at Walmart.  The clerk in the aisle said she JUST put them out.  Sounds like they sell out as soon as they get them in.  Anyway, we used it last night in the backyard while raking dirt and planting grass.  Didn't get bugged by ONE mosquito!  I paid about $25 for the unit....well worth the money so far!  And there was no smell to it either.  I do not like the smell of citronella candles, not to mention I don't think they work that great.

After reading up on this device, we decided to try it out, as the little buggers are bad this year...more so than in past years.  Anyway, got it home, set it up, turned it on....no mosquitoes  :)  Awesome!  And we can take it camping too.
