A Mosquito

It's in December already, and the winter solstice will be coming by the end of next month. I live together with my law-in-parents, my law-in-mother removed the mosquito net last Friday. The local temperature is around 15 degrees celsius(I don't know how to input the symbol celsius). But the mosquito never disappear, I didn't sleep well last night, and one or more of these kinds of disgusting insects hummed all night.
I prayed as usual hoping mosquitoes only suck blood but not hum around.

Corrections

It's in December already, and the winter solstice will be coming by the end of next month.

i thought "coming by the end of the end" sounded natural to me :,(

I live together with my law-in-parents, my law-in-motherin-laws, my mother-in-law removed thea mosquito nest last Friday.

"in-laws" refers to everyone who is a part of your spouse's family - everyone who is your relative-in-law
just saying "in-laws" here most likely means your spouse's parents, but it could also include their siblings. rarely anything beyond that. i just saw that someone else corrected this to say "parents-in-law" and i have never heard somebody say that before :v

also - "the" refers to something specific, but this is the first time you talked about a mosquito nest here, so you just say "a" instead. there's no need to point out a specific one since this is the only one you've talked about.

But the mosquitos never disappear, I didn't sleep well last night, and one or more of these kinds of disgusting insects hummed all night.

it can also be spelled "mosquitoes" - both are correct

Feedback

i don't usually correct when somebody else has, but i thought i had something different to add. it's probably just regional differences? :v

also man i hate mosquitos!! they're the only animals i'm okay with killing >:(

Thank you, you are so kind! I noticed "will be doing" are more popular than "will do" on youtube. And the explanation of "in-laws" is excellent and helpful for me.

Either: It's December or We are in December

I live (together) with my law-in-parents, my law-in-motherparents-in-law, my mother-in-law removed the mosquito net last Friday.

Instead of removed tried: took down, put away
