I should plant some catnip around my house... more cats, less mosquitos? Win win

also other bugs too.

most of the mints are good at repelling bugs and they smell good too.

hows is more cats a win? they will fight each other, crap on your lawn, and kill local wildlife.

I am perpetually in a battle against the local wildlife (which also crap on my "lawn"), so I see few if any downsides here.

Outdoor cats mainly kill the things that kill mosquitoes, just saying.

Concrete is expensive, tho.
