But there are times we want to roll up the welcome mat and repel insects, especially mosquitoes. You can do this without using repellents containing chemical ingredients which kill the friendly bugs as well as the nuisances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s not all about citronella\u200b\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are as many ways to foster natural pest control as there are reasons to repel insects like mosquitoes. These pests are the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_deadliest_animals_to_humans\">deadliest creatures<\/a>&nbsp;on earth, killing about a million people a year. They harbor diseases like Malaria, dengue,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/westnile\/index.html\">West Nile virus<\/a>&nbsp;(and there are no vaccines or medicines to prevent or treat this virus in people). In most cases, you need look no further than your local garden center. And feel free to think beyond citronella. You can fill your garden with other wonderful scents and colors that you\u2019ll love, but mosquitoes will hate.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bluezones.com%2F2021%2F09%2Fbug-repelling-plants-to-grow-in-your-garden%2F&amp;text=There%20are%20as%20many%20ways%20to%20foster%20natural%20pest%20control%20as%20there%20are%20reasons%20to%20repel%20insects%20like%20mosquitoes.&amp;via=bluezones&amp;related=bluezones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">There are as many ways to foster natural pest control as there are reasons to repel insects like mosquitoes.&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bluezones.com%2F2021%2F09%2Fbug-repelling-plants-to-grow-in-your-garden%2F&amp;text=There%20are%20as%20many%20ways%20to%20foster%20natural%20pest%20control%20as%20there%20are%20reasons%20to%20repel%20insects%20like%20mosquitoes.&amp;via=bluezones&amp;related=bluezones\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"bctt-ctt-btn\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHARE ON X<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Desirable Dozen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluezones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/annie-spratt-NrflUuJJK0I-unsplash.jpg?w=650&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"lavender\" class=\"wp-image-263142\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll find&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardendesign.com\/plants\/mosquito-repellent.html\">dozens of flowers and plants<\/a>&nbsp;that can populate your patio or garden space while keeping the mosquito population at bay. Lavender tops the list. It\u2019s a natural bug repellent with a soothing smell (at least to us humans). The scent of lavender deadens a mosquito\u2019s sense of smell, making it harder for you to become its target. Other plants that discourage mosquitoes and other pests from making their home in your yard? Marigolds, catnip, rosemary, and scented geraniums. Bee balm, mint, and sage can add to the wonderful aroma of your garden, but mosquitoes seem to hate them. And of course, there\u2019s the old standby, citronella.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bluezones.com%2F2021%2F09%2Fbug-repelling-plants-to-grow-in-your-garden%2F&amp;text=You%27ll%20find%20dozens%20of%20flowers%20and%20plants%20that%20can%20populate%20your%20patio%20or%20garden%20space%20while%20keeping%20the%20mosquito%20population%20at%20bay.%20Lavender%20tops%20the%20list.&amp;via=bluezones&amp;related=bluezones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You&#8217;ll find dozens of flowers and plants that can populate your patio or garden space while keeping the mosquito population at bay.

Freshen your patio cushions with a spritz made of tea tree oil, and clean your grill with lemon oil. Your guests will love the aroma (and the lack of flying intruders \u2013 they\u2019re repelled by these scents). You can grill cuttings of thick citronella grass (just for a short time to release the bug-repelling oils). You can also spread a few citronella grass cuttings on walkways. Their natural oils will be released by foot traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other things to consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bluezones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sebastian-kurpiel-HKCCnHbjixI-unsplash.jpg?w=650&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"bird bath\" class=\"wp-image-263141\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not just about what you add to your garden when it comes to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/natural-and-organic-pest-control\/\">organic pest control<\/a>. It\u2019s what you take away. Regular mowing gets rid of places where pests like to hide. Get rid of sources of standing water where mosquitoes could lay eggs and any food or animal waste that could attract flies and other pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water features are not the enemy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can still enjoy backyard ponds, pools, and fountains or birdbaths without allowing them to become&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/natural-mosquito-control-2131142\">hosts to mosquito larvae<\/a>. Stock small ponds with fish that eat the larvae, or aerate water features and use a pump to keep water moving. Mosquitoes only lay eggs in stagnant water. You can also chlorinate pools and hot tubs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get outdoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heading outside is a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluezones.com\/2020\/10\/time-spent-in-nature-could-combat-psychological-effects-of-coronavirus\/\">proven stress-reliever<\/a>. So invite your friends and take advantage of your outdoor space\u2014minus mosquitoes and other pests.
