Has anyone else noticed that cellulose thinners attracts mosquitoes? I left a small tray out last night after cleaning some parts in the tropical heat of Bedfordshire. This morning there must have been 100 mossies in it. Is this why flies get stuck in new paint?

2 pack attracts them as well. Aparently it smells of pear drops but as it can be fatal, I've never tried getting a wiff of it myself!

i think more likely some colours attract more than others
light blues are a favorite, any white and off white colours and of course yellow
not many on red
