Question

Mosquitoes breed in areas where there is often standing, still, svampy, water. Mosquitoes can cause malaria and other harmful diseases to humans and animals. Without causing damage to an existing ecosystem, what could you do to help control the current mosquitoes and their larvae? (what would eat them ?)

Answer 1

Many natural scents that are appealing to humans actually repel mosquitoes, including lavender, peppermint, basil, and eucalyptus. Many of these scents can be worn as an essential oil on your skin to help keep these pesky pests from biting you.
