Research into the mosquito-repellent properties of tuba-tuba (Jatropha) and garlic suggests that certain compounds in these plants can deter mosquitoes. Studies have shown that extracts from tuba-tuba can have insecticidal effects, while garlic is known for its strong odor, which may mask human scents that attract mosquitoes. However, further scientific investigation is needed to quantify their effectiveness as repellents compared to commercial products. Do you want to know more about specific studies or methods used in this research?
