Pretty much everyone hates mosquitoes. The itching bites are bad enough, but the diseases that they carry infect hundreds of millions and kill millions of people every year.

A California company, ISCA Technologies, may have a solution. They are developing a human scented "cologne" for cows. The idea is to draw the mosquitoes to cows instead of people. This would be sprayed on the cows and would make them smell like humans for up to a couple of months. If also treated with insecticide, the mosquito dies.
