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?

There is a product called Mavrik Perimeter that is a very effective mosquito control.

Have you considered killing yourself ?

Are you from my other post lol?

I've had fantastic success spraying around my home with insecticides. Primarily treated for ticks but great on mosquitos too.

Primarily with bifenthrin. Not affiliated with that supplier.

For flying insects you need to spray on the leaves of nearby trees so you really do need a mist blower. Or have a local company do it.

I tried the propane powered foggers. Useless.
