Citronella na candila, solve na. Iyon lang nga, kadalasan nasa bakuran ang mga lamok.

Pag malamok sa loob ng bahay, nagsisindi ako ng citronella na candila. effective naman.

Neem tree is effective. Sa province yung house nang in-laws ko sa farm in mindanao is surround by neem tree. Although screened ang interior ng house, sa balcony pag naghuhuntahan kami duon during vacation, walang lamok at ibang insecto ang istorbo sa amin.

+1 very effective ang neem tree at mabilis pa tumubo. i think fairly common ang seedlings nito kaya 'di mahirap mag-hanap niyan at mag-propogate

In our house in the province, I have the following plants for mosquitoes:

Eucalyptus Plant


Citronella Plant


Different Species of Pitcher Plants (somehow the mosquitoes are drawn in by the liquid inside the pitcher) - These in the pictures are the ones I have right now.

Another plant is the Kamuning plant which we have a lot here in Manila and the province. It's not only a mosquito repelling plant but also an alternative medicine plant.

Wow LR! How did you grow the Eucalyptus Plant? I buy Eucalyptus leaves regularly and a bunch costs around P300. I heard that it's difficult to grow daw?

Naku Ms. Cathy kung alam mo lang kung gano kahirap magpalago ng Eucalyptus plant! I had 4 plants before tapos 1 lang ang nabuhay ko!

Sakit sa bulsa talaga pero happy ako kahit isa nabuhay namin.

Ms. LR, yung pitcher plants, magandang exotic plant sa bahay. Ang problem lang kailangan nya wet and humid ang environment. Di uubra sa dry places, matutuyo, unless you create a wet and humid surroundings. Meaning all day dilig ka or ilagay mo sa tabi ng isang pond. Tama ba ako, ms. LR?

Oh, by the way, they don't repel insects but rather they do the opposite, i.e. they attract and trap them inside the pitcher-shaped portion of the plant. They are classified as carnivorous plants. Hehehe, nagparang botany class na.
