Ok Brent,
What you have is the old style of septic system. Not saying bad style just the older version if you will. They work great and you should have no problem for many many years.
The amount of bleach you put in should not hurt a thing. Rid-X is indeed good stuff. We add some each month to our system. My septic guy says not needed, but we do it any way. When he does his quarterly inspections that are required by law and ordinance in Texas he always tells me we have the cleanest operating system. I credit the Rid-X for that.
You mentioned the bath tub in the secong bath. Now even though you may have the drain cap securely down you still will have access to the septic. The tub will have a drain in the bottom of the tub. Just above the drain going up the tub wall is a drain vent. If that drain runs dry the vent becomes your avenue for the mosquitoes to get in.
Also if the washer runs into the yard make ssure the area is not to saturated. You may need to wash a little each day instead of all laundry on Saturday, so to speak. At least until we find the nest. You will still want to check the washer drain and make sure there is water in it. If it gets dry, not being connected to the septic it will have a dirrect route to the great outdoors. This will let in mosquitoes and roaches.
Just a thought here. I am trying to think of all possible ways they could get in. Have you changed your a/c filter lately? If they are nesting in the old filter they could be recurculating themselves back into your home. I do realize they would need water, but if the coil is moist enough that could be your source.
I'll call my a/c guy and ask him. Although I would bet you the root problem is in the septic system.
