Insects are known that they dislike the common smell repellent,and they also hate the taste of it. "DEET" the main component popular insect repellents, has been warding off mosquitoes for about 50 years now. It works through its smell,but it is still unclear says Craig Montell of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, who is a coauthor of both studies. Nowadays,Biology studied focus on a different bug. Knowing exactly how DEET and citronellal are repulsive to bugs could allow researchers to uncover better repellents that trigger the same reaction, Montell says.
In my opinion, mosquitoes are very dangerously animal. They cause of Malaria and Dengue Fever. In the past, when people were not really know about how to cure them self, and they had death by the mosquitoes. It fast and spread quickly, it is dangerously.
