fermenter attracting bugs

Has anybody ever noticed that their fermentors attract insects? I have NEVER had an issue with bees, mosquitoes, etc. Since I started distilling about 3 weeks ago, I have bugs all over my garage. And I dont see any ants, so its not the sugar.

I am curious if its the CO2 that the fermenter is giving off is attracting these bugs. I know that mosquitoes are attracted to CO2. I think thats the principal behind the mosquito magnet thing...

I'm just curious if anybody else has ever noticed this, or if I'm losing my mind!
