What are the alternatives to get rid of them without resorting to things that are bad for the environment?

Kill them!
I was just on the phone...like an hour ago. And I wanted to shout to the person on the other end.. 'Yes! I just killed a mosquito!' Maybe I did say that. I killed three last night, after getting bitten twice. -------------------- על כל אחד ואחת להוסיף בתורה ובמצוות כדי להכריע את עצמו ואת כל העולם כולו לכף זכות!

...assuming you can't or don't want to kill them by hand.

They just drop on the floor...and then get swept up.
Who cares? You [usually] don't end up with mosquito guts on your hands. Just my two cents. -------------------- על כל אחד ואחת להוסיף בתורה ובמצוות כדי להכריע את עצמו ואת כל העולם כולו לכף זכות!

True.
I didn't think of that. But you're tamei anyways... And in many ways. -------------------- על כל אחד ואחת להוסיף בתורה ובמצוות כדי להכריע את עצמו ואת כל העולם כולו לכף זכות!

I don't think citronella oil is bad for the environment, is it?
