damn these bugs

Can any kind soul help me out and tell me if there is any good type of all around insecticide i can get to kill or atleast deter all of these bugs I have. I mainly have flies in the day time and misquitos at night but theres also a bunch of nights that come around at night. Small buggers that get through the screens on the windows but they come in cwords. Any help to terminate these little guys. thanks.

sorry the "nights that come around" should have been nats or knats, not sure how to spell it correctly.

If you kill a gnat, does it become a gnot?

I would either use Catnip or Deet as repellent.

if the catnip dosen't work as a deterrent make a tea out of it and you'll sleep like a baby.
