Pesty mosquitos

We moved into our remodeled home a year ago, there are small mosquitos 14-7 , The neighbors do not have a pool, and I cannot locate any standing water. I must leave the back door open so our two dogs can have access to outdoors. What can I use to repel the mosquitos? Of course they love me at night but they are in every room of the house. I do not want to use toxic bug spray. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks

You really dont have to leave the door open for the dogs on a constant basis. Why do they have to go in and out all the time ? My dog goes out when she tells me she has to otherwise she is in. It is senseless to suffer because of the dogs.

Install a dog door for your pooches and train them to use it.

You also might want to keep your lawn mowed. Mosquitos gravitate to high plant growth.
