Spritzing yourself with insect repellent is just the start.
But what if you want to naturally deter mosquitoes from hanging around your property?
As it turns out, many garden plants ward off mosquitoes.

Citronella grass is a low-maintenance plant that does well in a warm, sunny area and a large planter.
These are actually a variety of geranium and will not do much to ward off mosquitoes.
Lavender is another beautiful addition to your garden with an anti-mosquito scent, as explained byProFlowers.

This vibrant purple herb also repels moths, fleas, flies, and spiders.
Lavender plants are a little more finicky than citronella grass, requiring full sun and scarce watering.
These flowers add a splash of color to gardens and look beautiful near an entryway.
