Does the wax myrtle scrub help control mosquitos?

Question

I heard a blurb about this plant on a landscaping show. It was said that it is a natural mosquito repellent. I went looking for more information and didn't find any. Has any one heard about this? Can you give me more information?

Answer 1

yes i really is ..im sure the reason you cant find it is youre using its nickname ..try using its latin name to search waxmyrtle/ bayberry=Myrica cerifera ..i use bayberry/waxmyrtle and american beauty-berry for insect repellent they work and smell great ..just crush the leaves ..heres something= http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consu...
