Ever wonder why you’re the one getting eaten alive by mosquitoes while others barely notice a bite? It turns out, it’s not just bad luck — it’s science. 

The Science Behind the Bite 

Mosquitoes are surprisingly selective when it comes to their prey. They’re drawn to certain chemicals in human sweat, like lactic acid, ammonia, and uric acid. They’re also expert trackers of carbon dioxide, which we release when we breathe. 

If you’re outdoors breaking a sweat — mowing the lawn, gardening, or working out — you’re basically sending out a personal invitation to these flying pests. Even your body heat and the bacteria on your skin can influence how much mosquitoes love you. 

Why This Matters for Homeowners 

Mosquitoes aren’t just an itchy nuisance. In residential areas, they’re more than a summertime annoyance — they can carry serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and dengue. 

Mosquitoes thrive in places with standing water, dense shrubs, and shaded corners — exactly what many yards unknowingly provide. And once they settle in, they’re tough to get rid of without professional help.
