does it attract mosquitos?

Unfortunately I installed it late last year - after mosquito activity. Sorry I can't give you a better answer. Live in the northeast.

Yes it will just like any other light. But I choose the longer version so it would not shine in my eyes. It is a good light.

Definitely. They don't work so well, depending on the types of mosquitoes in your area. If there is something else to sting, the mosquito will leave you alone. Otherwise, they'll still get you. It's probably a combo of citronella and some other essential oils.

Actually that is a good question. I just opened the door on the left hand side and placed it in there. It seemed to still get plenty of air flow so it should still attract Mosquitos.

Not really- nothing loud that I have heard. Maybe if the water level was lower? Mosquitoes still lay eggs in the water though- but I think it cuts down on their numbers. At least, I'd like to hope that it does... since I bought one!!

a proper response to this question - YES it will keep mosquitoes away, if you point it at them. This is a FAN, not a mosquito repellant

It does work on mosquitoes. You have to turn the fogger on high to blanket the area well but it takes a good while for them to come back.

Yes it does a great job on them. We catch lots of them. Sometimes more of them in the machine than mosquitoes. We had an infestation of them from our plants in the house, we plugged in the machine and it caught a lot of them.

I didn't get it for that so I didn't notice if it did. I would think like any fan that it would not repel Mosquitos

Hi Mary! It should! I bought it mostly to keep the mosquitos away but it should work as a tick deterent as well.

It does not repel mosquitoes; I have one dog that mosquitoes love, and it doesn't phase them at all. It hasn't worked that well for ticks either this yr. We are having a terrible problem with both this year in TN, and this hasn't helped much at all this year. And, the strong smell makes my one dog gasp/choke for a few minutes. But I haven't found anything else organic out there that works yet, so I keep using it.

Vey good question. I have many set up that would come in contact with mosquitos. None had any visable ones on there. I check close to protect the garden

Paul, I'm not sure this will 'attract' anything. If a honey bee happens along and lands on it he might get caught but I don't think it will lure them in. In fact, I think the shortcoming with this product is that it does not seem to have an attractant.

It does a good job of attracting all flying insect. I would say it does get gnats, but perhaps not all of them.

I don't think this trap necessarily attracts any bugs - I think the insects are trying find a place to hide and they get caught in these traps. If you drop a scent that would attract earwigs in the trap, it might work as an earwig trap.

you put skin so soft on your arms and legs ,also on your face and it keeps mosquitoes from getting on you. It maybe the smell of skin so soft. I do know it works because we use when we go fishing and we don't have problems with any kind of bugs. I hope this was helpful to you.

I see various types of moths and flys that get zapped in mine because they are attracted to the light. I'm glad you asked because I found some interesting information that relates to attractants on http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/advice/keys-to-success/attractants-101

our cottage is by the water and near a forest and there are mosquitos. It has been real good at keeping the little suckers out. Be aware that when you receive it check for the plastic shower curtain rings that hold the mosquito net in place; they forgot ours and it was scramble to find replacements
