During our quest to understand why mosquitoes are attracted to us, we traveled the world and discovered fascinating information. We reached a point where our creativity flowed, and we wondered if the warmth of our blood could be like a magnet for mosquitoes. However, as intriguing as this idea was, we couldn't find a definite answer.



Undaunted by the challenges we faced during our exploration, we conducted thorough research with a strong desire to understand what naturally attracts mosquitoes. It was during this process that we chanced upon an astonishing revelation—a species of mosquitoes in the USA held an inexplicable affinity for a particular orchid known as Platanthera Obtusata. So potent was this orchid's allure that even when shrouded with canva bags, the mosquitoes persisted in gathering around it—a testament to the profound power of attraction that nature deploys.

This discovery marked a pivotal turning point. It became the first chapter in a chronicle of natural wonders that held the key to mosquito attraction. The notion that certain elements of nature possessed the capacity to fascinate mosquitoes was a revelation that sent ripples of inspiration through our attempt.


We were determined to find a solution that could work everywhere, no matter where you are. With this aim, we embarked on a mission to identify and harness similar sources of attraction within our own surroundings. The journey led us to a certain species of orchids that thrived in the USA, Canada, and Europe—which was unavailable in the landscape of India. Despite this, the quest to uncover local alternatives persevered, fueled by an unwavering belief that nature's charms were not confined to distant lands alone.


As the pages of our journey turned, the hand of the Supreme Almighty seemed to guide us, ushering us toward a series of groundbreaking mosquito bait experiments conducted in various corners of the world—Israel, Africa, USA, China, and beyond. It was through these global endeavors that we drew closer to understanding the intricate dance between mosquitoes and their natural attractants.


In our pursuit, we discovered a universal truth—an ode to nature's ingenious designs. Through the tales of orchids and experiments, we realized that nature had whispered her secrets to those who sought with unwavering intent. And as our understanding deepened, we recognized that our journey wasn't confined to the pursuit of a single solution. Instead, it was a symphony of innovation, woven together by the threads of curiosity, science, and the profound mysteries of nature.


Join us as we unravel the captivating narrative of mosquito attraction—a story that bridges continents, transcends boundaries, and invites us to behold the miracles that nature has bestowed upon us. Together, let's embark on a journey that celebrates the world's most exquisite orchestrator—the universe itself.
