Reviewer 2 Report

This is an interesting study focusing on the larvicidal and other properties of honeysuckle and patchouli essential oils. The research is well designed. I think some of the tables can be moved to supplemental figures section while other tables can be combined into one. Some information in the Discussion section is repeated unnecessarily, can be removed. Multiple typos and grammatical errors. I am attaching the file below with my comments.

Comments for author File: Comments.pdf

I do not have nay major concerns with the manuscript as such. The research is well designed and can be of interest to people. Minor changes need to be made in English writing throughout the manuscript. Some tables should be moved to the supplemental section while those in the initial part of the results section can be combined. Also they can be put in graphs which makes it more interesting in stead of tables.
