7.  okay so we have like this weird mosquito problem ONLY at night.  i can't figure out why.  apparently its a thing that happens in NY.  so what do i do?  is there like a way to trap mosquitos?  like i know bees you make a honey trap or flies you can do sugar water.  WHAT do i do?  we put up a net and i bought some sound thing that repels bugs.  but i want a natural candle or something that will deter them inside.
