For the first time ever, Japan reported case of dengue. (From Washington post - 1st case of dengue in Japan after 40 years ) Worldwide the estimate for dengue infection is between 50 to 100 million. WHOs estimate is at 390 million. That is a large number. Many nations are clueless on how to eradicate combat dengue.
I had my yard planted to Citronella and I think it is useful in controlling mosquitoes and other household pests
Here is an article from Cymbopogon genus plant (it is related to the lemon grass) The Mercola article does not seem to distinguish between the Lemon grass and the citronell grassa because both seem to be used for flavoring and aromatherapy
Citronella oil + vanillin provides 3 hours of protection vs mosquitoes, comparable to the protection provided by chemical mosquito repellent DEET.
