Question
We have plant saucers, gutters, and a bird bath nearby. Screens are intact. The bites are mostly after sitting outside at sunset.
Pest Or Not answer
Check saucers, gutters, bird baths, toys, tarps, and any container that holds water for more than a few days. Source reduction usually matters more than treating adult mosquitoes.
