  1. TOP 5 MOSQUITO REPELLING PLANTS

  2. • All winter we look forward to having the chance to sit outside once again, lounging with a cool, refreshing drink in hand, surrounded by friends and family. But while each summer brings new opportunities, new memories and new experiences, one thing that stays the same are those pesky critters creeping up on us, biting us until we can’t take the itch any longer. Yep, you guessed it, we’re talking about mosquitoes. While some bug spray may hold you over for a while during your time outdoors in the summer, we have something else that can be helpful in keeping these blood- sucking pests away – plants! Here are the top mosquito repelling plants that we recommend you.

  3. MARIGOLDS Marigolds are known to give off a rather distinct smell that mosquitoes aren’t a fan of. You can either plant new seeds or grab a potted marigold from a nursery nearby – either way, just make sure you place your marigolds in the area where you and your guests are probably going to spend most of your time.

  4. CITRONELLA If you usually keep a citronella candle on your deck you know how helpful citronella can be in deterring pests. In fact, citronella is known to be one of the most commonly used ingredients in various insect repellents! Instead of a candle, this time try using an actual citronella plant to keep mosquitoes away – either plant it in the ground or place it in a pot.

  5. LAVENDER Lavender can be your biggest saving grace when it comes to keeping any type of pest out of your garden – other insects and rabbits are just a few things that tend to stay away from lavender plants in addition to mosquitoes. Although you might enjoy their smell, mosquitoes can’t stand it! For the best results in growing a lavender plant of your own, make sure it’s placed somewhere that receives full sun. You can send flowers Dubai online from Arabian florist.

  6. PEPPERMINT A third plant in the mint family that can be extremely useful is peppermint. A lot of bugs are turned off to both the taste and smell of peppermint, so it’s no surprise that mosquitoes feel the same. However, even if you do get bit, your peppermint plant may actually be able to help you heal – when you rub the leaves on your skin, you can start to feel some relief from that terrible itch!

  7. BASIL Talk about the best of both worlds! If you grow your own basil, not only will you help your yard stay mosquito-free, but you’ll also be providing yourself with a nice supply of ingredients that can be used in the kitchen! Some recommendations to start with would be lemon and/or cinnamon basil, but with so many varieties out there, it doesn’t hurt to try them all!
