How Do Mosquitoes Find You? Female mosquitoes have receptors on their antennae that detect the carbon dioxide released when we exhale, acting as trails that the mosquitoes follow to find the source. As they get closer to a target, mosquitoes can also detect body heat an array of volatile chemicals unique to each of us and which smell like dinner to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are cautious and don't fly straight to their victims, but pause along the way.
Why Do Our Applications Work? The objective of our applications is to treat mosquito adults’ daytime resting sites as well as the places they pause in route to a victim. Working from the house outwards, we treat vegetation along with any location that is dark, cool and moist near the home, in the yard and around the perimeter.
