The most common mosquito repellent plants are citronella, lavender, and geranium. Citronella is also called lemongrass because of its lemon aroma. If it is kept in the house, mosquitoes will avoid it within a certain range. Lavender itself has an insecticidal effect, and people usually use lavender to make Place the sachet in the cupboard or in the bedroom to enjoy the fragrance while repelling mosquitoes; geranium has a unique smell that keeps mosquitoes and flies away.
