This paper deals with the logistic Keller–Segel model
in bounded two-dimensional domains (with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and for parameters χ, κ ∈ ℝ and μ > 0), and shows that any nonnegative initial data (u0, v0) ∈ L1 × W1,2 lead to global solutions that are smooth in 
\[ \begin{cases} u_t = \Delta u - \chi \nabla\cdot(u\nabla v) + \kappa u - \mu u^2, \\ v_t = \Delta v - v + u \end{cases} \]
$\bar {\Omega }\times (0,\infty )$.
We consider a Keller–Segel model that describes the cellular chemotactic movement away from repulsive chemical subject to logarithmic sensitivity function over a confined region in 
${{\mathbb{R}}^n},\,n \le 2$
. This sensitivity function describes the empirically tested Weber–Fecher’s law of living organism’s perception of a physical stimulus. We prove that, regardless of chemotaxis strength and initial data, this repulsive system is globally well-posed and the constant solution is the global and exponential in time attractor. Our results confirm the ‘folklore’ that chemorepulsion inhibits the formation of non-trivial steady states within the logarithmic chemotaxis model, hence preventing cellular aggregation therein.
