Ooh, interesting tactic. I have to say I've not really noticed a massive impact from the repellent but I'm usually too panicked to look properly!
The way repellent works isn't super transparent - it doesn't actually repel bugs directly, instead it increases the pathfinding cost for them to walk over it. What this means is bugs will prefer a longer path with no repellent platforms up to a point, and completely cutting off an area with platforms will just have them walk right over it, because all pathfinding distance costs to get across are modified by the same amount.
This makes repellent most effective in creating chokepoints and slowing down glyphids.
That makes sense, thanks. I would never have worked that out.
