(di)staccarsi


Explanation:
Nel senso di "mollare l'osso/starsene tranquilli/andarsene via in pace" però occorrerebbe poter vedere bene l'intero contesto prima di pronunciarsi...

agree  Alessandra Verde: ci vorrebbe un segmento più ampio, per capire meglio, però credo che questa soluzione vada bene per a) 'lasciare in pace' e b) 'non farsi sfuggir nulla né nessuno' figurato o reale che sia il significato. Buon lavoro!

placarsi


Explanation:
Le zanzare e le mosche non si placavano un istante.

Altrimenti, se vuoi tradurre meno letteralmente:
"non [mi/ci etc] davano pace/non ci lasciavano in pace un istante."

essere tenute sotto controllo


Explanation:
le zanzare e le mosche dovevano essere tenute sotto controllo / tenute d'occhio tutto il tempo

dovevi tenere gli occhi sulle zanzare e sulle mosche tutto il tempo/ in ogni momento/ sempre

Credo che a questo fa riferimento "descuidarse"
