How to Kill Mosquitoes in My House

Mosquitoes flourish in warm and wet conditions. If a home isn't properly sealed or windows and doors are left open, mosquitoes make their way in. These insects become a real nuisance as they cause itchy bites as a result of feeding on human blood. A mosquito fogger can be used to get rid of mosquitoes in the home. Foggers can be purchased from most hardware stores and are used to emit a spray that clouds the room and kills off the mosquitoes. Review the label on the fogger to ensure it is safe to use indoors.
