Mosquito's are bothersome insects that are found throughout the world.  Mosquitoes are estimated to transmit disease to more than 700 million people annually in Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico and much of Asia with millions of resulting deaths. The main diseases spread by mosquito's are yellow fever, dengue fever, Chikungunya, and malaria.  At least 2 million people annually die of these diseases.  Mosquitoes prefer some people over others. The preferential victim's sweat simply smells better than others because of the proportions of the carbon dioxide, octenol and other compounds that make up body scent.  Mosquito's have a keen sense of smell which is devoted to sniffing out human targets. Of 72 types of odour receptor on its antennae, at least 27 are tuned to detect chemicals found in human perspiration.

 

Octenol is a chemical that manufactured from human breath and sweat to attract mosquito's.  Octenol is the attractant used in combination with carbon dioxide is the main ingredients to attract mosquito's with the trap.
