Of course, I know this is Florida and there will always be mosquitos here but I would like to keep them out of my house as much as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Whether they are blind, non-biting mosquitos or the biting kind, they breed in standing water. So be sure that there are no puddles of water near your porch, such as an overwatered pot, or a blocked gutter on the roof, or a bird bath, etc. Getting rid of standing water will rid you of your mosquitos.
