Studies have found that wind is an effective method against mosquitoes and other airborne pests.
The reason seems obvious: it prevents them from circling and landing on you, like a windstorm keeping a plane from its descent.
But that is not entirely the case.
A fan dilutes and disperses the carbon dioxide you exhale.
Carbon dioxide is one of the major chemicals that attract mosquitoes. T
he wind from a fan also cools you off. Sweat, lactic acid and body heat attract mosquitoes — factors that a fan can help minimize.
