How mint repels mosquitoesFirst of all, the peppermint oil, menthone and menthol contained in mint are easily dispersed and can repel mosquitoes to a certain extent. Secondly, mint also contains insect repellent essential oil, which has a very mild smell and is harmless to the human body. Therefore, it can be used as an indoor insect repellent incense, and its effect is most obvious when used for spraying or fumigation in the summer. Specific usage of mint to repel mosquitoesIn the summer when there are more mosquitoes, you can place mint near the window in the bedroom and spray water on the mint leaves in the evening. This will help spread the fragrance of the mint and repel mosquitoes. After being bitten by mosquitoes, you can also grind mint leaves into juice and apply it to the bite. It can have a good effect in relieving itching and will make you feel cool and comfortable after use. Using mint to repel mosquitoes can really be said to be "healthy and pollution-free". When summer comes, flower lovers may as well grow a pot of mint and try it out for themselves. |
