No matter in which part of world you are bugs are always the reason of irritation. The solution for this can be commercial spray which can give quick results but they have harmful chemicals which are risky for humans too.

The best and eco friendly way to keep insects away from your place is by growing some plants which have insect repellent properties in them. The oil present in these plants drives away the insects and makes the home comfortable.

So have a look on plants which you may grow in your home.

Holy basil

Holy basil is a plant which is also known as ‘tulsi’ in India and this herb is used for cooking and can be grown easily in homes as all it requires is heat and sunlight.

Lavender

Lavender is a flower and fragrant herb which adds sweet fragrance to home. This is the plant which does not require any kind of fertilizers and it takes 204 weeks to sprout out from the seed. So plant lavender and feel the fresh aroma along with keeping the insects out.

Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a medicinal herb which has subtle citrus flavor. It has natural oil and acts as a natural bug repellant. This plant can be grown in garden or in pot. When you try to grow this plant then avoid using clay soil as this plant requires moisture. We can see the plant growing within a week or two and this plant is mostly used in tropical areas.

Thanks! That was all for you.
