Mosquitoes can smell their dinner from an impressive distance of up to 150 yards.Mosquitoes also like the smell of sweat and things that are warm. when a mosquitoes sees movement,she want to chase. So the next time there are a lot of mosquitoes out,maybe you should postpone your game of basketball.
