This chart shows attraction rates for a common species of mosquito, called Aedes aegypti. DEET definitely works, but lemon eucalyptus insect repellent is almost as good and is much more effective than DEET four hours after application. Interestingly, those mosquito skin patches attract more mosquitos than not wearing any repellent at all.
