Want to chase away mosquitoes naturally? One of the best ways to keep mosquitoes away from your home is to create a mosquito repellent container garden. These easy-to-create gardens can be made with a variety of plants that are known to repel mosquitoes. By growing these plants in pots or containers, you can easily move them around your yard to create a barrier against these pests.
Creating Your DIY Mosquito Repellent Container Garden
To get started, choose a large pot or container - we used a galvanized tub - that can accommodate the plants you have selected. Fill the pot with soil and then add your plants. Be sure to water them regularly and place the pots in an area of your yard that gets plenty of sunlight.
Container Plants that Repel Mosquitoes
Citronella Grass, Lavender, Marigold, and Cascading Geraniums are all known for their mosquito-repellent properties. As the plants in your mosquito-repellent container garden grow, they will release their natural oils into the air, creating a barrier that mosquitoes cannot penetrate. This will allow you to enjoy your yard without having to worry about these pests.
