Mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide and lactic acid from your breath. Both things are heavier than air, which is why mosquitoes don't go very high. If you stand on a balcony you won't get bitten.

Stagnant water attracts mosquitos, because they breed in it.

Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, which is found in mammal's breath.
They are attracted to water, because that is where they lay their eggs.
