The most annoying thing about summer, besides the heat, is the buzzing mosquitoes. Although now in order to prevent mosquito bites are also a lot of things, such as mosquito coils, electric mosquito coils, mosquito nets, mosquito repellent water and so on are very common, but in addition to these, in fact, there are also natural mosquito repellent plants.
Scented leaf geranium: usually above room temperature can emit lemon flavor, the higher the temperature, the stronger the flavor. Under normal conditions, the plant itself volatilizes odor molecules through photosynthesis, thus acting as a mosquito and insect repellent. However, this scent can only repel mosquitoes around the plant, and has a limited effect on repelling mosquitoes throughout the room. In short, the mosquito repellent effect is effective, but there is no way to do to be able to make mosquitoes leave the room.
Nine-layer pagoda: Nine-layer pagoda is very effective in repelling mosquitoes. You can keep a pot of it in your room and place it on your windowsill and writing desk. You can put it in any position you like. Compared to the geraniums above, the nine-layered pagoda is very effective and looks pretty good.
Peppermint:Many people will use peppermint to make tea during the summer months, but unbeknownst to them, peppermint actually repels mosquitoes as well. Some studies have documented that peppermint is nine times more effective than sprays in repelling mosquitoes, so peppermint is also the best mosquito repellent plant. Keeping a pot of mint at home, which looks good, can also be used to pick and soak in water, and can also repel mosquitoes, is simply multi-purpose ah.
Lemon Herb:Many people may not have heard of the name of this plant, but in fact it exists. However, this plant is a bit tricky to repel mosquitoes, and if you choose this plant, you need to choose some fresh leaves, crush them in the palm of your hand and apply them on your body. Only in this way, people can not be bitten by mosquitoes.?
