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.

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

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."
