Years ago, I had one of those black light bug electrocution things. Most of what it attracted was moths. Mosquitoes for example are not attracted by light.
My neighbor had red lights for a while. Someone, NOT ME, must have told him what that means

I put up one of those black light bug execution lights when I lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania, with the same result you had. It killed thousands of mosquitoes, drawn probably from so far away that they wouldn’t have otherwise found my house, but I didn’t notice a decrease in mosquitoes. What I did notice was that the light was drawing and electrocuting Luna moths and other beautiful moths. This is the only time I saw Luna moths in Pennsylvania. I didn’t even know they lived there. Unwilling to kill such beautiful creatures without a good reason, I took down the light after a few days.
