Very light colors but particularly the color white attracts them like crazy . . . your house, your car, whatever. Also, the aromatic hydrocarbons such as gasoline have a strong attraction as well. Just drive a white car into a gas station and start filing up and you'll get the idea. And good luck trying to get back in tour car without bringing a few of them with you. And when you squish them, they create a mess and they stink.
