  4. Can #DEET attract #mosquitoes? A lab study offers clues
    Exposing the insects as they feed can turn the repellent into an attractant
    Although DEET has been a “gold standard” in #insectrepellent for decades, it’s still unclear exactly how it works. Lab experiments suggest mosquitoes can smell DEET and learn to associate it with food, but it’s unclear whether that happens in the wild.

  10. Can anyone UK recommend mozzie deterrent/traps? SO sick of being eaten alive every night. I absolutely do not want to use DEET or similar spray. Is there a device that you can put in a room to either kill or deter mozzies? #insectrepellent #mozzietrap #mosquitoes

    Palm oil is NOT vegan

Craig Jones Wildlife PhotographyCommon supermarket brands that are RSPO members linked to deforestation and human rights abusesPalm Oil Problem #2 Palm Oil is destroying rainforests

    Did you know that palm oil is one of the world’s most destructive crops, as it can only be harvested in tropical rainforest and peatland landscapes where the highest concentration of endangered species live? The majority of palm oil and soy is fed to farm animals that people eat. This is why palm oil is an animal rights issue. And it is for these reasons that palm oil is NOT considered vegan by animal activists. It may be a plant-based substance, but it is NOT VEGAN. Brands like Nestle or McDonald’s claiming vegan status are simply greenwashing extinction and ecocide!

  12. Sounds good.

    "Adding a new weapon to the fight against insect-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and malaria, the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday approved a new chemical that both repels and kills ticks and mosquitoes.

    The chemical, nootkatone, an oil found in cedar trees and grapefruits, is so safe that it is used by the food and perfume industries."
