Creating Mosquito-free Outdoor Spaces

Imagine curling up in your new backyard with a glass of wine or a cup of cocoa to enjoy the summer evening. You put your feet up, watching the sprinklers going and the solar-powered sparkly lights turning on. Then they come: mosquitos. Mosquitos everywhere.

There are a myriad of plants that you can add to your backyard that mosquitos completely avoid, and thus avoiding you as well. And the plus? They can beautify your yard and even produce fruit! Catnip, citronella and lavender - to name a few - will keep the mosquito population down, beautify your yard and create a space that smells amazing!
