Help! Mosquitos ransacking my camper

[Damdifino]

The camper is parked beside my house on acreage. There aren't any mosquitos outdoors or in the house, but there are clouds of them in the camper. I slapped and smashed them all one time, but now a few days later they're back. I've plugged all the drains and heater vents; the A/C is on all the time; there's no standing water nearby. Where could they be coming from, and why would they meet up in my camper?

We are having a mosquito epidemic. I think they get in through the door on people and dogs. After our last trip I used a vacuum cleaner to suck up the many live mosquitos in our MH. It beats cleaning up squashed ones.

OP here: Thanks for all the suggestions. I poured bleach in all my drains and the commode, then set off a Hot Shot fogger overnight. Skeeters are gone!

One other place that comes to mind is the A/C drain pan, might be too cold for them but worth checking.

We have a bug zapper from Amazon. Works great.

Bug bomb time. In the evening(sundown or later) open all cabinet doors, turn off A/C, and turn on one or two overhead lights (to attract the mosquitos), set off a bug bomb or two and leave for several hours. Come back, throw the bug bomb cans in the recycle bin and clean up the dead mosquitos.

Yes, there are mosquitos outside. You might not see them but they are there. Window weep holes is how they get in mine.

Flush all your water lines, run a bunch through the traps, and then pour vegetable oil in the traps. Put some in the toilet, too, so you have a seal but with no available water.

still stagnant fertile water breeds bugs. Even a sink trap can breed hundreds. . Chlorinate , flush your water system. Have you taken supply a water sample to a lab to ascertain its quality and sanitation?

Any standing water in the commode? A little veggie oil on top to seal it ??

did you check the slide out seals?

No slideouts on this model. And last year I crawled around underneath and caulked all openings because I had a few mice. At least they're gone 🙂

It's cool in there and out of the Sun. Great place for vampires.
