Besides fogging the outside of my house, is there anything else I can do? I have mosquitos just popping up inside my house, I have no idea where they are coming from. Seem to be mainly coming from one of the bathrooms. Is there anyway they could be coming from the drain in the bathtub? TIA

dude. I need to get you the name of this company that sprayed my yard. They come out, spray and it's effective for 30 days. I can sit on my back porch naked and not have a single mosquito bite me from 5 pm till midnight.

shoot me an email. I counted 5 hovering over my 7mth old this am. We live on 4 acres but there is a drainage ditch that runs next to the property, im thinking they are flying up the drainage pipe and coming into my house that way. Its mosquitos and fkn wasps, I've killed ATLEAST 40 wasps this year, no idea why those lil bastards are so bad this year

I have one of those mosquito magnets that uses a propane tank to attract them then it catches and dehydrates them. It works quite well when it is on. Too bad my lawn mower at the power cable

You'd be surprised at how many can get through a door when you walk through it

You can place citronella plants at different points around your home. I'm not sure if this will prevent them from entering your home, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Cutters Backyard Bug Spray easy to apply & works well and lasts quite awhile. Applies with a garden hose or mix in garden sprayer. Spray everything!! Doubt they coming thru drains if they properly done. Traps should stop them from coming in.
I live in the swamps & nothing is 100% Good luck

Spray permethrin on your yard and on your house for mosquitos.

For wasps and spiders (and all kinds of other things) I use Tempo but many here say Suspend works well too. I can tell you with Tempo you WILL NOT have dirt daubers, earwigs, spiders, etc. and it has a long residual.
