3. Dark Clothing: Research shows that mosquitoes are most attracted to dark colors. They can see and use their vision to locate targets from a distance, and people wearing dark clothing are at higher risk.
4. Pregnant Woman: Pregnant women attracted twice as many mosquitoes than a non-pregnant woman, a research study in 2000. This is because pregnant woman exhale more carbon dioxide than other people, in addition to running higher body temperatures and having more blood circulating through her body than the average person.
5. People who eat a lot of potassium and salt: Mosquitoes are attracted to potassium, salt, and lactic acid released by your body, so it helps to avoid salty and potassium rich foods like bananas, avocados, and dried fruit.
6. Perfume and Scented Lotions: Fragrances are known to attract mosquitoes. Floral scents are especially attractive.

Only female mosquitoes that are looking to lay eggs bite because they need the nutrients in blood to lay their eggs. Female mosquitoes that are not laying eggs and male mosquitoes are only feed on plant nectar.
Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide from 23 meters away. Produce carbon dioxide from both humans and animals which signals female mosquitoes that a potential blood is near.
