Mosquitoes - help !! Empty Mosquitoes - help !!

We’re invaded by them here. They start flying around once you turn all the lights off angry
I’m allergic to their bites too so it’s a particularly big problem for me.
I have blue UV tube insect traps but mosquitoes aren’t overly attracted.
I’ve been researching on mosquito plugs that are supposed to be dog-safe but they remain chemical.

Aside mosquito nets which are just not possible, does anyone have any ideas or further information for effective mosquito solutions ?

Don't they suggest citronella to deter mozzies? Also eat lots of Marmite as apparently they don't like the taste in your blood thinking

Thanks for the tips.

I’m really concerned about using anything volatile because of a dog’s acute scent, unless I'm exaggerating ?
