Here's the way I get rid of them. Get a bottle of nice cheap sweet wine and leave it with the cap off (i got a bottle of Port wine for something like 2000won it did the trick) It is like a continuous cycle....they appear then they smell the wine, dead on impact. A week later they appear again ...smell the wine...dead on impact.

Another more tedious thing to do is clean your entire apartment with bleach...that works wonders

I am quite sure that the smaller insects are fruit flies (our friends if you have ever studied genetics) the wine idea will definitely work.

The mosquitoes are a more serious problem. Really all you can do in a sense is isolate yourself from them, screens etc.

Oddly enough (and this is the truth as much as anybody knows really) mosquitoes "sleep" usually on vertical surfaces nearest their last feeding, meaning you in all probability, for example if you are awakened at night you will find them literaly on the wall next to your head, feet whatever exposed surface.

It sounds simplistic but just get up and smash them systematicly.

Forget the coils and all of the local stuff, and that includes the baygon vaporizer machines that were banned in the U.S. thirty years ago.

Buy several fans run them all the time. Female mosquitoes are very
un-airworthy after they feed. They will literally cling to the walls.
