These UV bug zappers don't actually do much for mosquitoes. Studies (Notre Dame & CDC) found fewer than 5% of what they kill are biting mosquitoes, since mosquitoes are attracted to CO₂ and body heat, not UV light.

Exactly.

"They are a total waste of money. Bug zappers will not control mosquitoes or other biting insects such as horseflies, dogflies or deerflies," said Jonathan Day, associate professor of entomology with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
"They simply do not work as advertised. In fact, bug zappers actually make things worse by attracting more mosquitoes into your yard, and they end up killing thousands of beneficial insects that don't bother people."

Ok so what's the alternative?

I wonder how a bug zapper which does not attract mosquitoes in the yard, is capable of attracting more mosquitos into the yard...

I would run away from any such research which wouldn't make sense even to a 5th grader.

I just use mosquito attractant pads under the zapper and that seems to work.in attracting them to the zapper. Once near the zapper most get zapped. But I do not have any research except practical experiment and sounds when bugs get zapped.
