Which Smells Attract Mosquitoes?

Smells Attracting Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are attracted by:
• Human body odors,
• Higher body temperatures than the environment. Also body extremities with slightly lower body temperatures.
• While there are natural oils repelling mosquitoes
• Floral or fruity fragrances
• Lactic acid also produced after eating certain foods such as those high in salt or potassium.
• Carbon Dioxide: While you can’t do much about your carbon dioxide attracting mosquitoes, you can repel them via the other methods.
