Depending on where you live and how dangerous the mosquitoes are, there is a tradeoff with also unnecessarily killing many other flying insects. On top of that, mosquitoes are an important food source to other animals and they are also pollinators. So I'd only go with this solution if the mosquitoes in your area spread diseases.
