Ask HN: Effective way to deal with mosquitoes?
Yeah I was going to say as someone who has spent a while in mosquito prone tropics, a plug in killer indoors - you can turn it off if there are none and windows are closed, and long loose clothes for outside.

Are those pluggeable things safe with cats around?

Yeah I think so. This has a label for a typical one. Say toxic to aquatic life.

A cat weights about 4kg on average. A mosquito weights 2 milligrams. The cat would have to drink it in order to get poisoned.
