I know mosquitoes are not supposed to be attracted to light. But I've had some cases where I left the window open at night with the lights on and my bedroom was swarming with them. Whereas with the lights off there are a few but not infested like that.
So in my own experience light does seem to be a factor somehow
- hackily 4y agoCould it be the heat from your light? What kind of bulb do you use? Out of curiosity, what are you doing with the light off? Just sitting in the dark?
- GekkePrutser 4y agoIn summer I live with minimal light, yes. I live in Spain so I need windows open and I don't have AC. But there's a lot of street light as I live in a big city, so I can do with that (it's fine as long as it's brighter outside). I also have some xiaomi battery-powered motion-activated night lights to move around. My screens and TV are adjusted to low brightness and dark mode through automation. It works out ok for me. I can basically do my normal activities with some exceptions. For example my Oculus quest tracking doesn't work. But I don't want to wear that in the summer heat anyway. I don't think it's heat as I only have LED lights. Also, mosquitoes are far from the only troublesome bugs here. But keeping the lights off really seems to help for them too.
