Unfortunately, there are no bug zappers which can be placed over a window or door. However, there are several patents pending for technology which could correct this situation. One invention is a open air system which would pass a small electric current through anything that passes through it. Such current would be too weak to affect a person or pet, but would be more than sufficient to "zap" a mosquito.

Sounds like you have power but the grid is down. Unusual the bulbs are working. You must have 2 circuits.

As a temporary remedy, you can put a glueboard in the drawer to catch the flies, since they will still be drawn to the light.
