Answer 1

You need another light to attract them more try an electric  bug whacker set it up about 20' from where your playing it wont stop them but it will slow them down and kill them, there is also a propane bug repellent I heard works well but I've never tried it.

Answer 2

A bug zapper?

They'll be attracted to that light, but it'll zap/kill them.

Answer 3

I don't know if using a yellow light bulb will still give you enough light to play but that's what I use.  Using a yellow bulb seems to help some but doesn't keep them away 100%.  Also, I burn citronella candle's.

Answer 4

yellow colored bug bulbs sold at most any store (that sells light bulbs)
