Mosquitoes are afraid of some flowers and volatile smells such as cool oil and wind oil essence. If one or two pots of blooming flowers such as roses, mint, Milan and jasmine are placed in the bedroom, or a few uncovered boxes of cool oil and wind oil essence are placed, mosquitoes will be dizzy and then run away. Mosquitoes are also afraid of orange light. In summer, they install orange light bulbs indoors, or cover them with transparent orange paper, and mosquitoes will stay away from them.

Mosquito repellent plants mainly include cordate telosma, lavender, pitcher plant, geranium, Qilixiang, Cordyceps and mosquito repellent.

Grind moth balls and scatter them in the corner of the house. Plant one or two tomatoes in an indoor flowerpot, and the smell of tomato branches and leaves will drive away mosquitoes. Hang a handful of shallots under the lamp, or wrap a few shallots in gauze bags, so that all kinds of bugs will not fly.
