I've heard that mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others, so I've often wondered whether it would be possible to make devices that are more attractive than any human. Once you know how to attract mosquitoes, you've got them cornered.

I think it wouldn't even be all that difficult to experiment with new things that attract them. In any place where there's a substantial number of mosquitoes, you could set up a camera and some CV software and run it like a split test. (Old method of attraction v new method of attraction)
