You can get a mosquito plant (citronella). There are other plants that keep bugs away too, eucalyptus, peppermint etc
HI Michelle! I live in central Florida so I totally get the mosquitoes! For our patio I used three large planters and planted citronella grass (lemon grass), lavender and basil. I didn't get rid of all of them, but it helped SO much. I also burn this natural incense to take care of the rest: https://www.murphysnaturals.net/shop/mosquito-repellent-incense-sticks
Citronella plant! Repot it when you get home and make sure to feed it too
Additionally, operating a larger, stand type oscillating fan will deter mosquitoes...they dislike moving air.
Wear Avon skin so soft, as it does help. I have patio fans, they don't like the breeze and stay away.
