Most mosquito killer machines have attached lights to attract mosquito’s.
They may include lights that are visible to the human eye as well as lights that are not.
Some very sophisticated traps have oscillating lights that are proven to attract mosquito’s, while others use blue light systems or night lights.
Mosquitos are attracted to people, at least in part, because of the way we smell.
One of the most effective attractants is a substance known as Octenol, which was invented to prevent sleeping sickness in African cows.
Some systems have a dedicated CO2 component that releases a slow, steady stream of carbon dioxide to attract mosquitos.
