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?

1.mosquito net for doors and windows - ultimate solution

2.mosquito badminton. - great for few of them, you can just zap them with it.

agree on the nets for doors and windows. For doors there’s also some nets with magnets that can be crossed though and they will self-close perfectly every single time thanks to the magnets.

Badminton is great too, including against flies, wasps and whatever manages to get in.

We had one of the magnet screen door dealios and it worked really well. Until the cat discovered he could just go out on the porch to try and escape.
