Why do we not research natural mosquito repellants? Is there really no reliable plant for repelling mosquitos?

Jam is the best repellent, and it is derived from natural ingredients

Asserted, and disregarded, without evidence.

A lot of plants naturally discourage mosquitos. Some researchers think the reason cats love catnip and silver vine because of their natural mosquito deterrent abilities. DEET still works better.

What happened to those anti-mosquito laser systems someone was developing years ago? Regulatory or safety issues? Couldn't distinguish mosquitos from other insects? Just bullshit from the start? I would've bought dozens of them and put them in random places for the satisfaction of torching the wings off of parasites.

What would a plant possibly repel mosquitoes for?
