DEET is an repellent, and not very effective.

DDT is the cure for mosquito control.

Lemmee put it this way.
No matter what they come up with for 'control', they will be lucky indeed if they can eradicate say 50%. They would have to be considered wildly successful if they reached 95%. So, given that there still are 5% of the sketters out there, some carrying West Nile, some carrying Malaria, and heaven knows what else, I'd still slather on the DEET!

It's always been extremely effective for me.
