Default Propane-powered Mosquito Traps: What's the deal? Do they work?

The best mosquito killers are Bats.


While I've got nothing against bats, and wouldn't mind if there were
some around my place (I don't think there are any), I can't believe that
a mosquito is large enough to have an acoustic profile that would result
in it reflecting enough sound back to a bat to allow for echo location.

Or that there are enough calories in a mosquito to be worth the effort.

In other words, while I can believe that bats can detect, and eat, a lot
of flying insects (moths, etc) I simply don't believe that mosquitoes
form any significant portion of their diet.
