I know an engineer who had several ponds near his property who built an elaborate contraption to attract and electrocute them. He killed tens of thousands. Hundreds more ignored it and bit him anyway.
Bug zappers don’t focus on mosquitos. They focus on bugs attracted to light. Mosquitos aren’t particularly attracted to light. They are attracted to body heat and, most particularly, carbon dioxide. Our exhalations draw them near. Then the heat from the veins close to the skin’s surface provide the fine tuned target. So, to attract mosquitos, emit carbon dioxide which then draws near to a body temperature heat source, which then zaps or drowns them. This drowning is accomplished by having the mosquitos attracted to a suction which then blows them into water with a bit of soap in it.
i saw a video of a system like that in action, guy left it running for a good long while and then dumped out a PILE of dead mosquitoes (and only mosquitoes)

and those mosquitoes went on to reproduce
people say that engineer is still being bitten to this day…
