[QUOTE="nvts, post: 173365, member: 3814"] Hi! Watch out for bug zappers! A lot of people don't realize that you can't hang them near their houses because they attract bugs. The theory is that the bugs are attracted to them, get too close and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAPPPP! They're done. However, if it's near your front door, they could just as easily fly into the house. So you'd actually be hanging out a welcome sign to a lot of bugs. Mosquitos breed in standing water, so if you're getting mosquitos under the stairs in droves, there's water pooling somewhere and standing to allow the larvae to hatch. You need to figure out if there's standing water in there. Then, I did a search under "natural mosquito killers" and aside from breeding bats or purple martins, there's a host of natural bug killers to choose from. If you're not worried about natural, blast the heck out of them with Orkin or Terro products! But the main thing will be drying up the spots underneath. Otherwise, the current gang will die with the pesticides, but once the water clears, they'll be back! Good luck! Beth [/QUOTE]
