Mosquito Attractant

There must be something in paint mixed with water that mosquitos like.  Trying to clean my paintbrushes, roller and tray, those little vampires tried to imbibe every drop from my veins.  Even after bathing in Off! spray they continued their harassment.

The only thing that seemed to drive them off, even after the paint supplies were clean and dry, was when the grill got fired up.  Maybe it was the smoke.  There really seemed to be something about that paint and water spray that attracted them.
