Hey Michelle,

In addition to using a natural repellent on your skin, you may also want to consider plants that allegedly ward off mosquitoes. Gomestic.com lists the following:

Citronella grass:

Catnip:

Rosemary:

Marigolds and something I have never heard of before called mosquito plants.

Another thought is planting shrubs, etc., that attract mosquito predators such as dragonflies or birds.

Has anyone tried planting different shrubs, flowers, etc as a way to keep the mosquitoes at bay? How effective was it?
