My Mom and I are mosquito magnets. I know mosquitoes bother everyone, but this is different.. Plus with a pretty weak winter, were in big trouble this summer. Here is a list of plants that repel them. A lot of these plants will not survive under 50 degrees, so they will need to come in for Winter. These plants and trees provide only limited and short-lasting protection, but its better than nothing.

Catnip (Catnip is said to be 10 times more effective than DEET in repelling mosquitoes.) Citronella, or West Indian lemongrass, Rosemary Marigolds Lemon balm Garlic Clove Beebalm, Horsemint Eucalyptus Tea tree Lavendar cedar verbena pennyroyal pine cajeput cinnamon basil thyme allspice Peppermint
