Produce a skin & liquid system which, to mosquitoes, is similar to blood in a living body. Until they actually have a sip.
it would appear to be nutrient
it can be detected as they normally detect blood, maybe even easier (at least as attractive as type O)
it is warm (keep it at 36 degrees with a battery + simple warming system)
Make this liquid poisonous to mosquitoes. Ideally, kill in seconds, so the poison isn't passed on to other animals/humans (even if it's such a small quantity in a mosquito which just fed from it).
Have recipients of this liquid, covered with a skin-like surface and kept warm, deployed in various areas.
Maybe the liquid doesn't have to be blood-like, just the artificial skin?
For large areas:
Deployment and recovery needs to be simple/automatic (drones), as it would be done periodically in the same area. Refill batteries & liquid, measure impact (how many mosquitoes fed from it?)
Unlike the genetic approach, which only downsizes population, this has the potential to actually exterminate mosquito population in any area. Those blood/poison traps could be placed even in public parks and apartment balconies.
Liquid composition can also be continuously improved, in case some mosquitoes decide not to feed from it anymore.
