About the only thing that attracts them is your breath. The carbon dioxide you exhale attracts them.
No offense , but you need to study your 'skeeters a bit more .
Along with your breath 'skeeters detect your body heat , sweat electrolytes , movement , and color in some cases(they're attracted to blue) . There is also some supposition that they can detect electromagnetic fields from muscle movement like sharks as well , but it hasn't been conclusively proven yet .
