RE: Artemisia Arrives With the Mosquitoes!
That’s awesome. You may also want to look at Artemisia annua for the same reasons, although the compounds in that herb are mostly anti-malarial.....
I’ve tried making ‘smudge’ sticks with vulgaris, but I don’t reckon it burns that well. Which is ironic given acupuncturists use it for moxibustion, but I think it burns better when dried and ground up. We’ve got some growing here also!
We focus on vulgaris cos that's what grows most easily & most abundantly in situ... we are talking commercial scale here. Also it is the artemesia variety chosen by Yangon University for their study as part of the malaria prevention program.

We're also looking to repel mosquitoes which also carry Dengue (no treatment known) and encephalitis rather than just treat malaria... 😊
