Summer brings sunshine, warmth, and unfortunately, swarms of mosquitoes—including the aggressive tiger mosquito. Their bites often lead to intense itching, allergic reactions, or even illness, while large invasions can ruin outdoor evenings, especially at dusk and dawn.
As seasoned gardeners know, chemical repellents can irritate skin and harm the environment. A smarter, natural approach? Mosquito-repellent plants. Easy to grow in pots on balconies, windowsills, or directly in the garden, these plants emit strong scents that mosquitoes detest. Top choices include lemongrass, geranium, lavender, rosemary, and other low-maintenance varieties. Mosquitoes are highly sensitive to odors, making these an expert-recommended solution.
