I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all? (lemmy.ml)

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?

I have been doing this to myself for over a year, and nowadays I think tarantulas are cute, and I'm looking forward to learning to tolerate harvestmen.

Harvestmen are fine tho, they have nearly invisible legs, and legs are what repulsme me so hard.

Fuck huntsman spiders.

She might be able to overcome it with education and exposure.
