Our basement is warm and dry. It’s about 1500 sq ft, and most of it is finished. It has a mother-in-law apartment and an enormous rec room, all carpeted and cozy. Oh, and spider webs here and there.

The unfinished part has a tool shop and the HVAC.

It was damp when we moved in, but we adjusted the humidity (don’t know why the previous owners never thought of that - the adjustment is right there in plain sight on the unit), sealed off the mouse-egress holes and evicted the little stinkers, and it has been quite pleasant there ever since.

I’m sorry to hear that you have a mosquito problem in your basement. We’re still trying to solve the ladybird beetle infestations every fall.

If you know what these are (Hubby will) and they are available, they are great for keeping spiders and some other insects out of rooms.
They might work on Ladybird beetles.
They only work until January.
