What are some plants that cure mosquito bites?

As spring comes, the temperature rises and many mosquitoes begin to breed. When summer comes, there will be many flies and mosquitoes around us. Many people hate mosquitoes because they not only affect our sleep, but also bring many infectious diseases. Although there are many mosquito-killing products on the market, the editor believes that some green and environmentally friendly plants are more effective in killing mosquitoes.

1. Seven-mile Fragrant

This is a small evergreen shrub with an umbel-shaped appearance, many and dense branches, small and shiny leaves, dense white flowers, and red berries after flowering. The plant is beautiful and generous when regularly pruned, which can add beauty to a humble room. The leaves have a strong spicy and sweet aroma and are very effective in repelling mosquitoes.

2. Carnivorous Plant

An herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family, which can grow to about one meter in height. It has small yellow flowers and one plant has hundreds of flower heads. The outer bracts of each flower head have mucus, which looks like five outstretched little fingers. It is very interesting. As long as small mosquitoes and insects fall on them, they will be stuck. Afterwards, the insect corpses will be slowly digested by it as nutrition for its growth. If there is dust stuck on it, it will be digested without a trace after a few days. Placing a potted plant at home can catch mosquitoes and absorb dust.

3. Fly-chasing plum

Its branches, leaves and flowers emit a smell that is sensitive to mosquitoes and flies, which has a strong effect in repelling mosquitoes and flies. Moreover, the flowers are brightly colored, and come in red, yellow, white and other colors. The flowers are often yellow or pink when they first bloom, and then gradually turn into orange or orange-red, and finally red. It is also known as the "seven-change mosquito repellent flower" and is pleasing to the eye when placed by the window.

4. Tuberose

Mosquitoes are afraid of the strong smell of tuberose. If you place it indoors, the fragrance of the flower will naturally have the effect of repelling mosquitoes. However, if you smell it for a long time, you may feel uncomfortable because it is too strong, so it is recommended to move the potted flowers outdoors during the day.

5. Mosquito repellent grass

Mosquito repellent grass has a lemon scent. When you keep it in the house, mosquitoes will quietly escape as if they were avoiding the plague... The reason is that mosquito repellent grass contains a special "small raw material". This product uses genetic modification technology to implant the mosquito repellent gene - citronellal gene structure into "vanilla", and uses its own unique release system as a carrier to continuously release citronellal into the air.

In addition, because the mosquito repellent plant species contains plant genetic structures that have the function of refreshing smell and purifying the air, they form a "natural evaporator" that is full of fragrance. Especially in the hot summer, it will make people feel refreshed and relaxed. Authoritative tests have shown that mosquito repellent grass can repel hundreds of species of mosquitoes.

6. Geranium

The flowers are clustered together and form plump balls, and can adapt to all parts of the north and south. In hot seasons, place it outdoors in a shady environment; in cold seasons, view it in a bright room. Geranium has a unique smell that attracts mosquitoes and flies away.

7. Nepenthes

Nepenthes is a typical carnivorous plant. It has peculiar leaves and an oblong "insect-catching bottle" hanging on the top. The bottle has a lid that can be opened and closed. There are dozens of pitcher plants, and the shapes, sizes and colors of the pitchers of different species are different. Pitcher plants can be used as medicine, and are effective in treating diseases such as hepatitis, stomachache, high blood pressure and colds. They are also good at catching mosquitoes.

8. Lavender

In addition to being used for aromatherapy, lavender itself has insecticidal effects. You can make it into sachets and place them in the house. The light fragrance can keep you away from mosquito bites.
