Speak up, o ye bug-killing experts! I don't want to contract West Nile Virus.
Me thinks paranoia is creeping up on ya...but then the Santa Ana River bed (aka the Orange County Mosquito Farm) IS pretty close to ya.

First off, NEVER burn a citronella candle indoors!!!

Once they're IN your house, a fly-swatter is the best. To keep them from coming in, make sure you keep your screen doors shut...spray Raid Yard Guard fogger around your patio daily...and burn 3 or 4 citronella candles (or Tiki Torches filled with citronella oil) on your patio nightly.
