mugaliens said:The emitters work in conjuction with UV attractors and bug zappers to more effectively attract the mosquitos.
On the other hand, if you fill a room with 50% CO2 gas, the mosquitos will die.

CO2 emitters release carbon dioxide, which is a gas that is naturally emitted by mammals when they exhale. Mosquitoes are attracted to this gas, mistaking it for a potential blood source. The CO2 emitters lure the mosquitoes away from humans by emitting a concentrated amount of carbon dioxide in a designated area.
CO2 emitters are effective in repelling most species of mosquitoes, including the most common types that transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Zika. However, there may be some species that are not affected by the CO2 and may still bite.
The lifespan of CO2 emitters varies depending on the brand and model. Some CO2 emitters can last up to 12 hours, while others may only last for a few hours. It is important to read the instructions and replace the CO2 canister when necessary.
CO2 emitters are generally safe for humans and pets. However, it is important to follow the safety precautions provided by the manufacturer, such as keeping the CO2 emitter away from food and drinks and avoiding direct inhalation of the emitted gas.
CO2 emitters are not recommended for indoor use as they require a large area to disperse the carbon dioxide and may pose a fire hazard if not used properly. It is best to use CO2 emitters in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, and yards.
