Mosquitoes are Fed Up with Victoria’s Secret Perfume

Are you looking for a decent skeeter repellent this summer?  Look no further than Victoria’s Secret.  Researchers at New Mexico State University were apparently messing around one day and discovered that a particular perfume was super effective at warding off mosquitoes.

The brand of VS perfume that is killing off mosquitoes is called “Victoria’s Secret Bombshell.”  The researchers assumed that the flower-like scent of the perfume would attract the skeeters and not repel them, but they turned out to be mistaken.  In fact, the perfume was such an effective mosquito repellent that it worked to keep the annoying pests at bay for at least two hours.

However, the researchers are not sure what it is about the perfume that is responsible for acting as a skeeter repellent, but they did note that in order for the perfume to show results a rather large amount had to be applied.  The all male team of scientists from New Mexico State are currently studying Victoria’s Secret catalogues to generate some ideas and see what they come up with next…Well…. I can see it happening.

Have you ever worn perfume and noticed that it attracted more mosquitos? Do you think you might try this new, sweet smelling insect repellent?
