Mosquitoes really don't like these 8 smells. Make sure you plant them this summer
6. Rosemary
Rosemary is a versatile herb that adds flavor to many dishes, and it is also an effective repellent against mosquitoes. Its woody smell is abhorrent for mosquitoes. Plant the rosemary in containers or flower beds, and you can even use the cuts to make a natural spray.
7. I like it
Mint is known for its refreshing fragrance, but mosquitoes find it unpleasant. Planting mint around your garden can create a natural barrier against mosquitoes. Be careful, however, as mint can be invasive and may need to be planted in pots to prevent it from protruding other plants in your garden.
8. Allium
Alliums are flowering plants related to onions and garlic. They produce a strong smell that mosquitoes and other parasites in the garden find unattractive. Alliums can add a unique and decorative touch to your garden while keeping it safe from mosquitoes.
By planting these eight mosquito plants, you can create a more pleasant, insect-free outdoor space. Incorporating these natural remedies into your garden can help you avoid chemical repellents while improving the beauty and biodiversity of your garden.
