Mosquito Issue
Posted on 5/28/15 at 10:02 pm
Posted on 5/28/15 at 10:02 pm
Recently bought a new home and we are having a weird mosquito issue. Almost everyday we will kill between 2-4 mosquitos in the house EXCEPT they are ONLY in our master bedroom and on suite bathroom. We have Mosquito Authority and they are doing a great job controlling the outside of the home but any suggestions as to where these mosquitos ONLY IN MASTER BED/BATH are coming from? Could they be coming through the vent? Drains? Windows are new so there are no cracks there. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check the bathroom vents in the ceiling. The ones at our house vent outside and have some little plastic shutters that may get stuck open. We had a problem with wasp getting in one of our bathrooms. All I got.

Would bet the mosquitoes are coming in on the dogs.

I could possibly see that but they dogs roam throughout the house and the mosquitos aren't in any other room but the master area.

Gotta be coming from outside, so I'd start with looking at the outside of the house first. Soak the horizontal part of the house with a hose and see if water is getting in anywhere.
Is your house raised?

Nope not raised. On a slab

I am betting that you have a light on in that area most of the time (i.e. a night light or something like that...
I have night lights in my bathrooms for late-night pisses and every mosquito in the house at the end of the day ends up in the bathroom at night due to the light sources...

Again, would make sense but there aren't lights left on at any point of the night

Well they are somehow getting inside. They are attracted to the CO2 so makes sense to see them in the bedroom.

Call mosquito authority and tell them what's going on. Tell them you want a rep to come out and do the work for you. You are already paying them; use their services.

Any faucets/drains that you haven't used in a long time?

Do you have a jacuzzi tub?
We had this issue with some wasp as our tub was sunk into a built in that had two cabinets to flip down and you could access the motor and such underneath the tub. Anyways, underneath there is the concrete slab and I could see how some insects could gain access into the house through there.
Hope that makes sense, I'm not handy with any building stuff so I don't know the correct lingo for what I just told you lol.

maybe this isn't as factual as what you are assuming. You spend more time in those rooms so may notice them more.

Possibly but I mean we really just shite, shower, sex, and sleep in the bedroom. We spend a majority of our time in the living room and never see them in there.

Sometimes there is a hole through the slab by the bathtub drain. Do you have cabinets on the wall next to the drain?
