I add mosquito bits to my watering can, leave it overnight and then water my plants with it, even in the house as it also helps with fungus gnats. Mosquito bits/dunks are non toxic to people/animals/pollinators.
If the mosquitoes are only in the greenhouse, find a bucket with a lid, add a few inches of water, add some grass or old twigs that stick out of the water a bit, add mosquito bits to the water at the recommended rate, put the cover on the bucket but slightly ajar so the mosquitoes can get in there. The bacteria in the bits will kill the mosquito larvae in the bucket so no new adults will emerge. Add more bits every month. Get rid of all standing water in the greenhouse, completely. Get rid of any standing water outside the greenhouse as well. You can put the same type of bucket trap outdoors, as well.
Mosquito dunk bucket with a bt puck or copper left in the water. Have been experimenting myself because I’m learning to manage rainwater barrels for my garden.

Folks have covered the mosquito bucket, so I just wanted to add: Love your Greenhouse! The black is very stylish!
A good fan inside will keep them out of the greenhouse. Mosquitos don’t fly well in wind.
