How to deal with mutated mosquitoes?

I’m facing a massive crisis! Since last year, my apartment and my whole family have been under siege by a relentless new strain of common mosquitoes (Culex pipiens molestus). If you think your standard backyard mosquitoes are bad, think again. These things are absolute monsters! 😠 Unlike their cousins, these mosquitoes don't hibernate during the winter, which means they stay active all year round. They don't even care about the day-night cycle—they are basically active 24 hours a day! To make matters worse, they aren't just biting us year-round; they are doing it non-stop. It feels like we're getting hit five or six times a second, every single minute. It’s becoming unbearable!

Standard bug sprays and insecticides don't seem to touch them, so I'm feeling pretty helpless here.

The sleep deprivation is really starting to take a toll on my family; everyone is exhausted, cranky, and we just can't handle the constant buzzing and stinging anymore. What should I do? Has anyone else dealt with something this intense, and what were your solutions? Does anyone know more about this specific breed? I've heard people refer to them as subterranean mosquitoes. For context, I live in a coastal city in California. Please help! thanks

Grab the plastic gear and take them all down—it’s honestly the only way to settle this 🤷 good luck

One should protect themselves in areas with heavy mosquito activity by installing window screens and using bed nets.
