What is most effective way to get rid of mosquitoes in your house involves combination of preventing entry, removing breeding sources, and killing those inside, as single method rarely eliminates indoor mosquitoes completely. Most effective approach is integrated pest management. First, prevent entry by repairing window screens, sealing gaps around doors, and keeping doors closed, as mosquitoes enter through openings. Second, remove indoor breeding sources, as mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of standing water like plant saucers, pet water bowls, and drains, so empty and clean those weekly. Third, use physical killing methods like electric fly swatters, indoor bug zappers like Dynatrap that use UV and CO2, and vacuum to catch mosquitoes. Fourth, use EPA-registered indoor insecticides like pyrethrin sprays labeled for indoor use, but ventilate and keep away from food. Fifth, use fans, as mosquitoes are weak fliers and fans make it hard for them to fly and disperse CO2 that attracts them. Sixth, for severe indoor issue, consider professional barrier treatment around house exterior to reduce mosquitoes entering, and larvicide like Bti in standing water outside. Also use bed nets if needed. Mosquitoes in house often come from outside, so treating yard with barrier spray every 21 days by companies like Mosquito Joe helps reduce indoor numbers. Most effective single device is combination of window screens, fans, and indoor trap, plus removing standing water.
