Question:
I have a bit of a mosquito problem in my house. Are there any products
that would do a good job of getting rid of them? I've already done
about as much as I can to keep them out, but I'm still getting some
at night. I've seen these traps that run on propane for outdoor use, is
there something like that I can use inside?
Answer:
-The problem with the mosquitoes are originating from the outside, that is
unless you have a multitude of plants inside then they may be breeding in
the plants. Check your plants and if you don't have any then you need to
concentrate on the outside. It will be over soon though..
-The only good method for controlling any flying insect problem is to
identify the source and eliminate it. Mosquitos can breed a 1/4 mile or
more from the area and still cause a problem. There is a very good
possability that some form of standing water is inside the structure( or
even underneath) which is the breeding source. Of course, making sure
that screens are in good repair and not leaving doors open is also very
important. Still, mosquitos have been known to breed in the water
collected from the run off of house plants.
