We have effect mosquito control and have had for decades.

We have genetically engineered mosquitoes that breed with wild types that reduce the life span of adult mosquitoes to reduce the spread of disease. We have biological agents that do the same. We have chemicals that stop the larva from developing into adult mosquitos. We have chemicals that can be vaporised to deter mosquitoes. We also have chemicals that you can apply that will stop mosquitoes from biting you (and will melt plastic).

Or just use a fly screen. I built one recently for my awning style window.

Look up thermacell devices and methoprene pelletes





I am seeing a huge increase in flies this year following the stoppage of the efforts we normally did south of the border. My god the flies. I have fly bags up, they are working, but there are way more flies.
