Forget DEET, Victoria's Secret 'Bombshell' perfume can keep mosquitoes at bay for up to two hours. 1  Researchers led by Stacy Rodriguez, of New Mexico State's Molecular Vector Physiology Lab tested 10 insect repellents or scents. 2  Found DEET was the most effective in at repelling pesky mosquitoes.
Specifically, their sensory organs are trained to zero in on sources of carbon dioxide and lactic acid because these chemicals lead them to warm-blooded animals, like you and me. Chemical repellents like OFF! repel mosquitoes, but not because mosquitoes donât like the smell of these repellents. Rather, itâs because the chemical DEET is very effective at masking the smell of carbon dioxide and lactic acid. When youâre wearing DEET, the mosquitoes canât smell you and so they leave you alone.
