Creating a mosquito-repellent garden has many benefits. This eco-friendly and effective natural solution keeps mosquitoes away without the need for any harmful chemicals. It’s safe for children, pets, and the environment, enhancing your backyard’s aesthetic appeal! On today’s program, we’ll show you how to create a mosquito-repellent garden using natural plants. We hope you’ll use this knowledge when creating your own garden. “Hey y’all. So y’all been asking me about mosquitoes in my garden, and I have a variety of plants that mosquitoes hate the smell of. And I’m going to show you which ones that I have in my garden. You ready? Get your pen and paper ready. You got your lemongrass. You got your thyme. You got your basil. You got your garlic. You got your citronella plant. You got your rosemary. You got your spearmint. You got your marigolds. Have your lavender. Your lemon balm. And grow you some geraniums.” The first two of our favorites to share are lemongrass and citronella. Please note that they can be toxic to pets if ingested! Next on our list of favorite strong-smelling herbs is oregano, one of the most effective mosquito-repelling plants in the garden. Interested in growing oregano at home? English gardener Simon Akeroyd offers a simple tip to help you get started. While we’ve introduced some of our favorite mosquito-repelling plants, there are other effective ones, such as rosemary, sage, catnip, marigold, neem oil, and floss flowers, plenty to choose from to add variety to your garden. Besides plants, other mosquito-repelling or preventive items are easily obtained from the kitchen, like cinnamon powder and coffee grounds. Cinnamon is an antifungal treatment that promotes growth and irritates insects with its smell. Coffee grounds are a cheap and straightforward way to get rid of bugs in your home soil. Sprinkling either one over your lawn can keep it smelling great! Also, adding coffee to standing water can prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs. Another preventive measure is to avoid growing plants that can attract mosquitoes and other pests. The likes of plants that produce nectar, the ones that tend to be moist and damp, or offer lots of shade in your yard, can undo your attempts to reduce the mosquito population; included are water lilies, water lettuce, water hyacinths, papyrus, and taro.
