This mosquito repellent is definitely unlike any other.

Ad agency TBWA and insurance agency Manulife have dubbed this plant pot the "life-saving pot," and they claim that it's the first that doubles as a mosquito repellent.

Each pot is hand-painted and fired up at a wood-fire brick kiln. Once the pots have cooled, they are layered with two coats of the repellent paint.
