Use Of Camphor: Mosquito Repellent
Mosquitoes hunt for blood using many senses, one of these is their heightened sense of smell. With this, they can smell the carbon dioxide and chemicals that our bodies produce regularly. Camphor smell counters this exactly like how citronella and eucalyptus affects bugs. The smell of camphor overwhelms mosquitoes with their own odor and confuses them, and thus repels them from the room.
Placing camphor tablets on the corners of the room can alleviate mosquito attacks because the waxy substance evaporates on its own, filling the room with its aroma thereby making camphor as a mosquito repellent.
