Every time I get in the car , at any time of the day or night , there are always a few mosquitoes flying around . My lady spends 15 minutes clapping her hands trying to kill them . Question , is there something on the market to either attract and kill them , that can be used in the car ? The car is only 4 years old and has  no obvious gaps anywhere .  

We get them (and little black flies) sometimes too, annoying.

 

Leave your A/C on "recirculate". A good spray of Raid (or similar) when you close up at night should handle them, the smell will have gone by morning.

 

Can buy these at Big C, fries them.

just take the roof down, let them fly out and then put it back up again....

 

but seriously - they shouldn't even get in to the car if the windows are closed - maybe something in your air conditioning system is awry

Nothing wrong with the cars air-con . Also a friend has the same problem and has a newish Toyota Fortuner .

I wasn't suggesting your air con is not working - I am suggesting this might be their entry point. They have to get in somewhere.

She could try to use it before she starts the car.

You could try camphor - 100 grams for about 50 Baht at Lazada. I put it 1 hour in my bathroom where I had many ants and all were gone - not killed but disappeared and they never came back. Helps against mosquitoes too. 

 

But if you want to use it you have to understand some things. If you eat 4 grams it can kill you. Put it in a box with lid and close it when you use the car. Let fresh air into the car before you use it. The smell is great but avoid it for a longer time. More information below. I was very worried at this time. In the meantime I love it. But I always use gloves. Now there is not 1 ant or other insect in my condo anymore. Somehow I miss them.

They usually get in when you get into or out of the car (usually around dawn/dusk). I get that a lot. So I just try to be quick getting in or out of the car. 

If your evaporator housing is not draining completely they may be breeding. 

 

Running fan-only may dry it out (as recommended above)

They can not get in true the aircon, that system has a filter. They get in when you open the doors, or windows.
