One mean to drive insects away is by planting herbal plants at home and one of the famous is citronella.
Mommy and I were discussing
that we can make our own insect sprays from these plants by extracting its oil.
Naalala ko tuloy bigla ang undergraduate thesis ko. I extracted the active
components from the roots of Duranta plant and use this to test it it has
anti-tumor properties.
The question is, where will I
get the citronella plant? Then I searched the net on how it looks like. It is just like a lemon grass or tanglad. So I searched on what are the differences between the two.
