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?
If you are inside, set up an oscillating fan. They can’t fly well in windy conditions.
Was watching a video where one place they rest is under the leaves of plants. Yiu can buy mosquitoe killer spray, but be sure to get underneath the leaves.
As others have mentioned, standing water is bad. They can survive and thus breed in a LOT smaller volume of water than people realize.
Even roadside water catch basins in front of your home can produce 100-1000 mosquitos a week if you live in a warm area.
This is real.
We setup a largish fan outside near our fire pit, attached to an inverter powered by a power tool battery.
It dramatically reduced the mosquitos. A few will still make but for the most past it solved the issue.
I do this when doing yard work. Can feel great to have a little cool down, and really keeps them off me when doing anything stationary. Hell, I’ve even rigged up a little one that clamps on to my lawn tractor to blow at me while driving.
A breeze is nice, but no mosquitoes is fuckin’ gold!
The smoke from the fire pit also helps in keeping them away.
One can also plant lavender and catnip and some other plants which mosquitos don’t like.
It’s smokeless. We had lots of mosquito-filled nights before the fan made its appearance.
Use a mosquito coil, manual way is to have huge pan put some oil then start swinging around the general area of the mosquitos you will eventually catch one. Put bleach on areas with possible mosquito larvae or where there is likely stagnant water in it. Introduce spiders and geckos in your home. Could also plant lavander/or any plant that is mosquito repellent lots online and introduce frogs in your garden.
You just gotta take the loss and burn your house down.
We hung one of those uv light Bug zapper lamps outside for use on during the evening hours, as it’s too hot during the day for them to really come out. We also got a few of the smaller ones that plug into your regular outlets inside, from Amazon. This has cut down on the ones in the house drastically.
Of course remove standing water, and keep tall grasses trimmed. They actually make thier homes and can reproduce in tall grass esp when you have daily sprinklers (like our aerobic septic system) we have deer that stop by and trim our grass for us.
Our community was built on an endangered toad habitat, which is sad but also helpful. (We really try to keep everything as natural as we can around the house so as not to harm them)
But really the bug zapper were God send
I’ve found that Eucaliptus plants deter mosquitoes pretty well
If you are in the woods, permitherin is the best option.
If you are just sitting around the patio, just set up a fan.

Dual wield those electric tennis rackets?
If you’re talking about a particular area, using fans can help push mosquitoes away.
If you’re mobile, use DEET on your skin and permethrin on your clothes and your dog’s fur.
Imo the easiest option: fly screens everywhere. Especially in bedroom and keep this door closed so they won’t get in (in case they come through other doors)
I no longer have issues with them and if I ever see one, I just use my electric fly swatter. I also can’t sleep when there’s one in the room.
Fly screens are totally worth it. Self made might be cheaper, but I’m not cerrain since I didn’t do them myself.
Easy, make a gene drive for a recessive gene that causes infertility, problem solved.
Don’t you want a dominant gene? Anyway, if you want to know more watch: Unnatural Selection, Episode 3. It’s on Netflix and worth a watch, it discusses gene drive in detail.

Now seriously, you could burn one of those cardboards that come with chicken eggs, i think other cardboards work but the egg one seems to be the most usefull for reppeling mosquitoes.
Interesting I wonder why
Wolbachia Parasites
CRISPr is what you need.
It’s what we all need.
So it sounds like you think your home is sealed already. I assume they’re just coming in when you do? You could spray near the doors maybe. Insecticide probably isn’t good for you but it’s worth considering living in a cloud of DEET if you’re that desperate.
Nuclear weapons might work
These crybaby librals wouldn’t let you use that 🤬🤬🤬
Preferably from orbit.
