Mosquitoes love me. Last weekend I was eaten alive while doing yard

work, so today got smart and sprayed repellent all over before going out. BUT, since I often open the door to let my dogs in and out, it seems that the little monsters (the mosquitoes, not my dogs) feel free to fly into the house. Big ones I can see and swat, but there are often TINY ones hovering around that are sly enough to evade discovery. What's the best way to keep them out or to eliminate them once they get inside? The tiny ones bite just like the big ones do. :-(

    boxes of marigold seed in bulk and just sprinkle them everywhere. They grow very quickly from seed and it's very economical that way. Sure worth a try! At any rate you will have a beautiful yard!
