Do mosquito magnets work?
Mosquitoes are drawn to carbon dioxide when searching for food. The mosquito magnet releases carbon dioxide to attract mosquitoes where they are trapped. In theory, this seems to be very reasonable; however, placing a mosquito magnet in your yard may attract mosquitoes away from your home, but at the same time attract mosquitoes from neighboring properties. Eventually you are still likely to get bitten. It is important to continue taking preventive measures and follow the 4 Ds, even when using a mosquito magnet.
