Lemongrass contains citronella oil, a key ingredient in many mosquito repellents. Its strong scent confuses and deters mosquitoes, making it an excellent choice for outdoor spaces, patios, and gardens.

Other Benefits of Lemongrass

Aside from keeping mosquitoes and flies at bay, lemongrass is widely used in Mauritian cuisine and traditional herbal remedies. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties make it an excellent addition to natural health treatments.
