Another bit of info is that when they head out to feed, they fly against the wind. That way, when they are full they use the wind to help them return to their nesting site. Once you clear out a site, if there is no water or such for them the area will stay clear until a larger than normal wind blows more into your area.
So I looked it up because I never heard of it. Seems like a very cool invention.
Mosquito magnet - how it works.
