Female adult mosquitoes were “entertained” by the track and attacked hosts later and less often than those in a dubstep-free environment.

Scientists said “the occurrence of blood feeding activity was lower when music was being played”.

The scientists also found that mosquitoes exposed to the song had sex “far less often” than mosquitoes without music.

“The observation that such music can delay host attack, reduce blood feeding, and disrupt mating provides new avenues for the development of music-based personal protective and control measures against Aedes-borne diseases.”

Corollary: Human males who listen to Skrillex also have sex “far less often”...
