  1. Nature’s Expressions Outdoor Design & Construction 5 Plants to Keep Mosquitoes Away

  2. Hot summer months are a perfect time to relax and entertain outdoors from sunrise to sunset into the evenings with family and friends, but mosquitoes may find your backyard inviting too. Luckily, there are plants that repel mosquitoes that you can place throughout your garden to keep these annoying pests away from your landscape design & construction. Here are 5 plants you can grow in your garden to keep these uninvited mosquitoes away without drenching your perennial garden design in harmful chemical sprays.

  3. Lemongrass • It has a fresh lemony scent that mosquitoes hate. So lemongrass plant is a great addition to your landscape design to get some of its insect-repelling benefits. Lemongrass grows well in full sun. • Rosemary • Rosemary is another great mosquito repellant that can keep your yard mosquito free. It has a pleasant scent to people but foul to mosquitoes. Rosemary can grow in containers and full sunlight, but may not survive a winter with temperatures below 30 degrees. • 3. Catnip • Catnip (catmint) is from the mint family and it contains a chemical called nepetalactone, that's both a feline attractant and an insect repellent-- mosquitoes hate catnip but cats may love it. You can crush the leaves and rub it on your skin to keep mosquitoes away from you, but your cat will love you for it.

  4. 4. Mint Mint can be grown in flower beds or in containers and it grows rapidly. Mint has a clean refreshing scent that mosquitoes can’t stand. Grow some mint in a centerpiece on your patio table and enjoy a mosquito-free meal with your family. 5. Marigolds Marigolds are not only great attraction to your landscape design, but they have a distinct smell that naturally repels mosquitoes. They contain an ingredient called pyrethrum, which is found in many insect repellents. Grow marigolds in containers or pots and place them on custom decks or custom patios where you spend most of your time outdoors.

  5. Don’t let these uninvited mosquitoes ruin your outdoor enjoyment and relaxation this summer. Get rid of them by allowing these natural mosquito repellents grow in your yard.
