To my knowledge there’s no stagnant water on my property, I’ve run water through all my ptraps, and I’m careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there’s at least 3 in my house. I can’t sleep, i can’t sit on the couch, i can’t exist in the fear of being sucked dry.

The breaking point is when i watched my dog get bit on her head. I’m ready to do whatever it takes and then some. I will kill a man if it saves me from these demons. Any ideas?

As someone who lives in a mosquito-ridden area, I’d usually spray the target room with mosquito repellant. However, this method is toxic so I’d usually stay outside the sprayed room for a while.

If you want to avoid toxic fumes I’d say blue light traps are pretty effective, though they won’t kill as many mosquitos as the repellant.

Have you tried garlic? It’s not as toxic but I supposed to help keeping them away
