Are we supposed to provide a link? I wasn’t sure.
Combined warfare tactics are the most effective. I recommend a bug zapper. Make sure the mosquito bait gets replaced occasionally or its effectiveness will fall off. The first night you run this, you will hear it slowly murder an entire ecosystem, but they were on your property so they deserved it. Afterwards, citronella will be effective for thwarting those who actually manage to resist the desire to fly into the light. You can also look into planting some predatory plants and repellent plants.
I had to call an exterminator when I had a yellow jacket infestation. It's not that expensive in the long run, considering how awful these jerks are.
As for mosquitos, my neighbors have a stupid runoff area that collects water, and they leave it untreated and stagnant all year so I've got loads of bug issues. I bought this bug zapper and it has been really effective.
Here, you can thank me later. This has revolutionized the way I look at those fuckers, I am a hunter and all mosquitoes are my prey just waiting for me to zap them.
The bark is scarier than it's bite. The sound it makes is much more daunting than it's actual "Zap". When it hits a fly - "CRACK". When it hits my shoulder (for a test) - it makes the same "CRACK" - but the actual zap was not that bad. We have "The Executioner"
As for impact, the wire grill is pretty sturdy, but not enough for actual impact play. It will break. We put a little pressure on it, and it started to bend, so, it had been relegated to fly killing (It's Actual purpose), even though it was bought to zap me originally.
There is a paddle that can be electrified by Kinklab - Kinklab Thunder Clap Electro Paddle - that I've had my eye on... I own a Violet Wand, but have yet to actually play with it (I was actually thinking about breaking it open today...)
So, that's an alternative if you have that...

For the first week or so mine was full of dead gnats and a few mosquitoes that creeped into the house. If you have pets it may scare the shit out of them.
If you need some excitement in your life, get a bug zapper racket.

J'adore ce truc. Tous les étés j'apprécie l'investissement.

You can them online. example here
Glad to share! This isn't the exact one but it looks almost exactly like this one. It comes with extra light bulbs and has been quite reliable in the past year for me.
If you are in a situation where you can hear / see them, I’ve had considerable success with one of these: The Executioner Fly Killer.
Looks like a mini tennis racket, has a parallel series of wires/rods, and every other wire is connected to a very high voltage (but low amperage) electrical circuit, powered by a battery in the handle. The remaining wires are ground. Sweep it through the air and if it connects with a mosquito or moth or similar, said mosquito will almost certainly make contact with one of the live wires and the an adjacent ground. This runs a jolt of current through them, instantly vaporizing all the water in their body, resulting in a surprisingly loud, and quite satisfying, POP.
I’ve had use for this in the house for time to time, if one gets in, and I take it to family’s backyard gatherings. One of my nieces is particularly fascinated, and insists we test it every time (you can do this safely with the end of a blade of grass). FWIW, I’ve triggered it on my finger intentionally (to better know what to expect, under controlled circumstances), and it’s a good little jolt, but with no lasting effects. But if you’re the size of, well, a mosquito, it’s instant death.
Taking out the invasion fleet, one mosquito at a time.
(And no, no association with the company, it’s not even an affiliate link, I just really like killing mosquitoes.)
For everyone here who seems to hate wasps as much as I do:

This little guy will bring you great joy as you smite your foe.
I have one of these, works awesome and I don't think I paid this much

I highly recommend one of these for situations like that. Leave a single lamp on with no shade so they congregate in one place then go to town. You don't need to swing fast either because the electricity will kill the bugs.
Worked wonders for me when we left the basement door open for hours and the ceiling was basically black with gnats and mosquitos. Smelled pretty nasty though, like burning hair.

Adapt. Improvise. Overcome. Don't let those bastards get to you
I don’t know the exact appliance I purchased as it’s in storage at the moment but it is something similar to this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F3NH96Q/
When using it in the yard, make sure it isn’t exposed to rain or snow be you should be good.
So, we had moths pretty bad. Now, they are only minor.
What we did:
- All of our drawers, closets and fabric storage got several cedar balls
- All of our dry goods got stored in hard plastic containers with tight lids
- We got one of those industrial grade bug zappers (https://www.amazon.com/Aspectek-UPGRADED-Electronic-Zapper-Insect/dp/B01LWLFB5U/) and hung it in our living room and plugged it in.
- We got some of those moth bait sticky cards and put them in the pantry area
Things that failed were camphor balls and moth balls stank too much.
Essentially, we denied them food and killed them where we could. They still ate several of my wool suit jackets. The former owner's closets and cabinets were full of the damned things. Took us several years to kill most of them off.
Good luck. Those damned things are almost as bad as cockroaches.
What happens when the fighting gets tough and you need to switch to melee? I recommend the executioner pro (it uses C batteries instead of AAs). https://www.amazon.com/Sourcing4U-Limited-Executioner-Mosquito-Swatter/dp/B003TT3GDC?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_dls_failed
Get some of these. Satisfying seeing those bastards go up in smoke.
Deer flies are all of the un-frozen months unfortunately. They're annoying but they don't leave welts and bruises like the black flies.
You can stick fly tape on your backpack to get relief, or use one of those electric racketsthat make a nice satisfying pop when you kill one. I keep a retractable swatter in the canoe when I'm fishing.
