Sweet smell with an almost floral overtone. Some people love it, others hate – but felines cannot get enough. Catnip repels mosquitoes more effectively than DEET according to a research study from Iowa State University. The active component (nepetalactone) is 10 times more effective and works well in concentrations as low as 1%.
