Do bug zappers actually kill mosquitoes?

The honest consensus from specialist communities like r/MosquitoHating, r/pestcontrol and r/MosquitoSolutions is that UV-only zappers kill mostly moths, flies, gnats and beetles, not mosquitoes, because mosquitoes home in on CO2 and body heat rather than UV. Models that add an octenol attractant (like the Flowtron line) do measurably better on biting insects, and many reviewers on r/BBQ report best results when zappers are paired with a fan or a repeller like Thermacell.
