Look: mosquitoes are horrendous. They might be incredible foods for flying creatures and bats, yet you don't want them living in your lawn. You also would prefer not to make yourself covered with strong chemicals to repulse them. Therefore, apart from making your property less amicable to these buggers by disposing of any stagnant water (include those gutters!), what would you be able to do to keep them away?
Studies found out that mosquitoes, alongside numerous biting insects, are attracted in to specific scents in human skin. They're particularly appealed in to your personal scents and different excretions, implying that in case you're investing a large amount of energy exercising and sweating, you can expect to have more mosquitos chasing after you. On the other hand, certain strong—or unpalatable to the bug—odors can both conceal your scent and prevent them from drawing sufficiently near to bite you. There are a few plants with strong fragrances that we find useful, which you can use to cover your own scent and avoid nearby mosquitoes at all costs.
You can't simply plant and it’s done, nonetheless. The smell should be scattered all around you, at any rate, and practically on your skin. To get the greatest effects, crumple herb leaves in your grasp to release their aroma, and afterward rub the leaves and their oils over your skin. Here are eight herbs that work greatly and can be kept in pots on a yard, near the entrance of your house, or anyplace else you plan to gather outside.
