No. Mirrors do NOT attract UV light
No, Mirrors do NOT attract visible light
No, Foil does NOT attract either visible or UV light.
In fact, NOTHING on Earth attracts light.
Maybe you should clarify in your own mind the difference between attracting and reflecting. The surfaces mentioned above DO reflect light.

Light travels in straight lines and as stated above cannot be attracted. It can be bent using a prism or focused using a lens.
