Aedes aegypti mosquitoes exhibit decreased repellency by DEET following previous exposure. [PDF]

, 2012
DEET (N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide) is one of the most widely used mosquito repellents. Although DEET has been shown to be extremely effective, recent studies have revealed that certain individual insects are unaffected by its presence.
