I dunno how they got in, but they are crawling around between the screen and the window in my bathroom. Anything I can do? (except remove the screen because I don't know and how and then I wouldn't be able to get it back in again).
When I saw one the other day I was just hoping it would die of starvation between the window and the screen but apparently that isn't happening.
I don't know how they are getting in or I would somehow seal that off. It's a second floor window.

Not only will it take care of the current problem but maybe keep a few mosquitoes out if you open windows next spring/summer.
If they CAN get in, they WILL.
