Of course there are more technologically advances ways. But for most Japanese, the best way to get rid of mosquitoes during summer nights are good old mosquito coils, preferably in a ceramic "katori buta" (かとりぶた・蚊取り豚), that is "a pig that takes mosquitoes away", like the one in the center of the picture.
Incidentally, the pig doesn't have to be a pig.
