Natural Mosquito Repelling Planters
Plant Basil, and peppermint plants, natural insect repellent.
citronella plants and citronella tiki burners, venus fly plants close to the seating area and bug zappers away from the seating area. People amaze me by putting bug zappers by their doors or seating areas...the purpose of the zapper is to attract bugs and you really want them attracted to where you are? must be a blonde idea. lol
Lemongrass is also supposed to work .
nothing against blondes...I married one. Higher up you go in the Appalachian mountains where I am from, the blonder the girls get...to help them we put TGIF an the heels of their shoes to remind them that when putting on shoes....Toes Go In First....and true fact---people way up in the mountains actually have blue skin like smurfs....google blue people for pictures of them
