I have this on the OB too but no traffic really.

We have mosquitoes in the house and we have infants. What are some things we can do? I haven't found stagnant water.
Is there anything we can do inside and now to help? One of the twins had a few bites. I put out viper a few weeks ago. I guess all the rain has washed it away. I plan to respray. TIA

Eta I don't have a bug assault gun

Have actually done that. Didn't work for mosquitoes. But it did hurt...

I set up a zapper under my PC table for this reason. I'm in and out all the time and they love me so...
It works for the most part.

I'm pretty sure I heard Paul LaGrange (who has the show on WWL radio) say that continuous or repeated presence of mosquitos in a residence was usually indicative of a plumbing leak. This is obviously not necessarily the case if there are large gaps or openings around windows or doors or similar issues where there is easy access from the outside to the house's interior, but I thought I'd pass that along.

A single mosquito in my bedroom at night used to make me crazy, I'd hunt the sumbitch down if it took fifteen minutes.

Good luck.

Fruit, you know they just go after carbon monoxide when we exhale....The op just needs to hold his breath for an hour or so...they will leave.

speaking of...adult mosquitoes live only 4 days...They get trapped in a car that is empty...how long before they starve to death?

They go towards light... so turn the lights off and burn a candle, they will go towards the fire.

If I put a bug zapper lantern in my boys room for a night light, is that trashy?

From do your own pest control. Spray a perimeter around your house, and exterior walls.

Not to drink, but if used properly around residences, according to the label.

I use talstar 3 times a year and after heavy, long rains... It's legit. No mosquitos in sight for months after spraying it.

Spray the perimeter, on brush, siding, sophet, and doors and you are good to go.
