Default Mosquito help

We started moving into our house this afternoon, which could be a mistake and I should have known better but was excited to get in it every time we opened the door the flock of Mosquitos outside would make there way in. So my questions are what's the best thing to get the ones inside the house dead and what's the best way to get the ones outside either dead or away from my door

Talstar works well for us. Our neighbor across the street didn't have it in his yard and we were getting bitten in his yard. Had to move to our yard to visit and had no bites! You can get it in liquid or granules.

You can order the Talstar from domyownpestcontrol.com They have free shipping on it: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/ta...ucts-c-40.html I used the liquid so that I could spray it not only in the yard but on the bottom 2-3 ft. of my house. It kills fleas, mosquitoes, spiders.

I also live in Big Lake and had a mist system installed and it worked great till the Hurricane Ike came through and lost my system, didn't install another one due to cost of replacement. I use Permethrin now I purchase at the local feed star, I use the highest concentration and mix in spray bottle and spray on EVERYTHING. Works great and also keeps spiders and webs and other insects away, has about a 3 month residual factor.

I also use premetherin. For fleas, ticks, white flies, etc...... spray the yard and my house.

I use tal-star for red ants in the yard.

I buy all my pest control product at the local feed store. This weekend I was going to wash my house and put down some termite poison.

my front door is like a cove and they would gang up and attack when you opened the door. the wife planted 2 citroella plants (from lowes) by the door in pots, and her grandpa told us to put bay leafs in the flower arrangement hanging on the door.. IT WORKED!... always trust grandpa!

I sprayed some Off! on my front door once and they disappeared from around the door. Was surprised at how well that worked.
