If every time you try to spend a relaxing moment in the garden, on the balcony or inside the house, mosquitoes interrupt your peace, it may be time to put one of the following plants that repel mosquitoes and flies .
Basil . Its aroma helps repel flies and mosquitoes. It is recommended to place it near doors and windows. You can also prepare a spray by pouring 100 ml of boiling water over 100 grams of basil leaves. Let it sit for a few hours, then add a few drops of vodka and mix well.
Lavender . Helps keep flies, mosquitoes, and other insects away. Place lavender branches near doors and windows, or in other areas of the balcony and garden.
Mint . A very effective plant for repelling mosquitoes. Plant a few mint plants in the garden.
Lemongrass . It is one of the most effective plant repellents, so much so that it is the main ingredient in many commercial repellents. Its aroma repels flies, mosquitoes, and other types of insects.
Rosemary . It is particularly effective against mosquitoes. Place it near the main insect entry points.
Marigold . Although its aroma is pleasant to humans, insects hate it and will stay away.
