What do you use to keep the mosquitos from making you their main course for

And I have another question. I have a bird bath and orchids with
pebble trays. How long does the larval stage last? i.e., how often
should I be changing the water? Every day? Every other day? Once an
eon?

Seems like I read 7-10 days. I use those mosquito dunks in our bird
bath. I don't use a whole one but break it up. Could do the same in
the trays. So changing water ever week should prevent them also.
Notice larve only show up in stagnant water. I have always wondered if
larger bird baths could just be agitated to kill the larve.
