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?

Look up how to make a carbon dioxide trap for mosquitoes. They are strongly attracted to CO2.

Ah that's right! It is CO2. My mind remembered it as propane for some reason.

Please don't make a propane trap

To be fair it would probably kill some mosquitoes
