The chemicals also need to be used at high concentrations, which could be hazardous to human health. The researchers say their next step is to develop safer chemicals.

I think I'll stick with the devil I know, DEET.

Fortunatley there's a cheap cure for that.
Get yourself some of that Jim Jones Kool Aid and if you really feel people are the worst thing, then you know what you need to do Roll Eyes

Yep, put it in your water supply.   Cheesy

My biggest concern would be the effect up the food chain.

I don't hate the biters.  I hate it when they bite me.  The rest of the time I love the little buggers!  They feed the fish and other good stuff.

I don't really want to kill them.  I just want them to go away.  That's how a repellant should work, by repelling.  While DEET is a poison, bugs don't try to land on it.  I don't get bit and there are mossies to feed the fish.  Win Win Win!
