Herb-Robert (White Form) - Geranium robertianum Freshly picked, crushed leaves have a strong odor that resembles burning tires. If they are rubbed on the body, the smell is said to repel mosquitoes. I suspect that the smell would repel just about any creature. The active ingredients are tannins, a bitter compound called geraniin, and essential oils.<br />
<br />
It&#039;s many common names include: red robin, death come quickly, storksbill, fox geranium, stinking Bob, squinter-pip, and crow&#039;s foot<br />
