Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but also carriers of various diseases. While chemical repellents are available, many people are turning to natural solutions to keep these pests at bay. One effective method is using specific plants known for their mosquito-repelling properties. These plants release natural oils and fragrances that mosquitoes find unpleasant, making them an excellent addition to any backyard.
Understanding Mosquito Behavior and Attraction
Mosquitoes are attracted to humans and animals by the carbon dioxide we exhale, body heat, and certain body odors. They are most active during dawn and dusk and are drawn to standing water where they breed. Understanding these behaviors can help in strategically placing mosquito-repelling plants to disrupt their attraction and breeding cycles.
