Insect dislike scent

One of the insects that often appear in the house is the centipede. Centipedes can be bitten when trying to get rid of them, and when bitten, poison enters the body. Although it is such a centipede, there is a way to prevent it from coming close to nature. That is cypress. It is said that centipedes avoid the smell of cypress. It seems that the component called hinokitiol contained in cypress exerts the effect of repelling centipedes.
