A substance or agent that repels or keeps away mosquitoes.
From Latin 'culex' (mosquito) plus 'fuge' (from 'fugere,' to flee), meaning something that causes mosquitoes to flee.
Bug sprays work as culicifuges by overwhelming a mosquito's sensory receptors—they smell the repellent and literally can't figure out where you are anymore!
