Mosquitoes are not attracted to ultraviolet light any more than they are to regular artificial light. ... Mosquito traps utilize carbon dioxide to bring mosquitoes in to trap them. In other words, bug zapper lights don't do much to kill mosquitoes.

Agreed. I got this from costco a couple years ago. Although it does produce CO2, it picks up a bunch bugs, but few mosquitoes, if any. Probably ends up doing more harm than good, by killing the bugs that eat mosquitoes.
