Anyone use one of those plug in mosquito killers that release vapor. If they kill mozzies surely they will kill other pests. Maybe not be a great idea a few days before harvest but can't see what harm they would do. I have an outdoor Thermacell one which works for the UK midges and I have it only a meter or less away from my head with no noticeable smell. Thermacell works off a small gas bottle but I believe the electric ones are just the same idea.

I'm just about sure Thermacel kills. and in an enclosed wind free area would easily fill a tent

Fuel-Powered Thermacell Mosquito Repellent devices repel mosquitoes by creating a 15-foot mosquito protection zone. Heat disperses the repellent from the mat into the air, creating the zone of protection. ... This repellent, allethrin, is a synthetic copy of a natural repellent found in chrysanthemum plants
