Just curious, what methods did you test with? Were you or other mammals around during this? From my experiences, mozzies are attracted to heat/moisture/carbon dioxide/rotting plant matter. I've never tried testing light alone. I've heard that bug zappers won't attract mosquitoes, but I've found the 80 watt Flowtron zapper DOES attract them and can knock down the population in an area in a few nights.
My fav. mosquito eradicator is a large fan with a screen attached to the suction side and a bunch of dead vegetation soaking in water in front of it. They come for the scent then get sucked into the screen. I've been using a box fan & hard drive magnets to hold the screen on. Probably would benefit from a larger fan, but this seems to work for now. I'm now wondering if I should be adding lights to the contraption.
