Nicole,
You have chosen a very interesting science experiment. The question you ask 
is, "What will be the results of this experiment?". 
This is a common problem of trying to meet expectations. You should run the 
experiment to enjoy the excitement of discovery, not to verify another 
person's opinion. Who knows, if you do this you might discover something 
very interesting that wasn't known.
Now I will ask a question, "How will you measure the repelling of 
mosquitoes?"
