Planting certain mosquito-repelling plants around your patio or outdoor seating area can indeed help reduce mosquito presence naturally. Here are some plants that are known for their ability to repel mosquitoes:

  1. Lavender (Lavandula spp.): The scent of lavender is pleasant to humans but repels mosquitoes. Plant it in sunny areas with well-drained soil.
  2. Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus): Citronella grass is famous for its oil, which is used in candles and sprays. Planting citronella grass or placing citronella candles can help repel mosquitoes.
  3. Marigolds (Tagetes spp.): Marigolds contain a compound called pyrethrum, which is used in many insect repellents. Plant them in sunny areas to repel mosquitoes.
  4. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): Lemon balm, with its lemon-scented leaves, repels mosquitoes effectively. It’s also a great addition to herbal teas.
  5. Basil (Ocimum basilicum): Basil has essential oils that mosquitoes dislike. Plant basil in pots or in your garden to keep mosquitoes away.
