    In plain English, they made mosquitos like repellent.

      Tldr: Repelln’t.

    Could this already be happening out in the wild?

    that explains. I was always wondering why in Siberia (where i worked for 2 summers back then at university times) coming out from house with freshly applied DEET you're getting covered with mosquitos - i was attributing that to the especial ferociousness of the mosquitos there - yet it sounds like the smell of DEET for them in those towns may have become like a BBQ smell for us :)

      It's OK, we still have picaridin

        Picaridin is the better choice as well. DEET is gross stuff that ruins many materials used for outdoor clothes and gear

          I read the paper - if they can train them to like deet this way, picaridin will be child’s play.
