FAQ About Indoor Plants with Natural Pest Repellents

Indoor plants repel pests through natural compounds found in their leaves and flowers. These compounds produce scents or oils that are unpleasant or toxic to certain insects. For example, essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptol, or camphor are common in plants like lavender and eucalyptus, which naturally deter pests like mosquitoes. The distribution of these oils into the air can act as a natural pest repellent throughout your home.
