Douglas Hunt on Jul 08, 2013I think a fan would be more effective than anything you could plant. For all the talk about citronella, even that isn't really very effective.Helpful Reply

Shawntel on Jul 08, 2013This year I have been having good luck with Mosquito Shocker™ (largonium-crispum) in Minnesota. Fewer bugs than past years and fewer than the neighbors. I have 2 plants in pots on a 16'x20' deck.Helpful Reply
