How
Mosquitoes Find Their Targets
When
people and animals breathe, they exhale an invisible
mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and attractant (a
type of alcohol) along with a trace of moisture.
Mosquitoes and other biting insects have ultra-sensitive
receptors which can detect the presence of these
chemicals, from almost 100 feet away. The attraction
is so powerful, they immediately fly toward the
source of the chemicals.
Moreover,
circulating blood in animal and human targets radiates
body heat. Mosquitoes also have sophisticated heat
sensors to help them locate blood, their food supply.
In effect, mosquitoes become heat-seeking missiles,
following both exhaled gasses and body heat directly
to their target. Within 30 feet, mosquitoes can
actually see their victims. When they arrive, they
fly around the victim to find landing sites where
blood is closest to the surface.
