A mosquito killer that uses heat to draw female mosquitoes and other biting insects may have a limited range of effectiveness.

Female mosquitoes initially hunt their prey based on carbon dioxide exhalation. Then, as they reach closer ranges, they seek prey based on heat only. Therefore, heat-based mosquito control methods offer a limited range of effectiveness based on proximity.
