The widely used repellent deet appears to be loosing its effectiveness against mosquitoes, scientists says.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine say mosquitoes are first deterred by the substance, but then later ignore it.
They say more research is needed to find alternatives to Deet, which was first developed by the US military.
