Thank you for the warnings of toxicity to cats and dogs!
This list is great. Just be sure that if you have a dog be sure to check if the plant is safe for dogs before planting it in a yard your dog has access to. For example, you might want to plant bee balm rather than mums since mums are toxic to dogs.
Thanks Much. ❤
Thanks for adding warning of toxicity to pets
You're welcome! It's important to keep our furry friends safe by being aware of which plants can be toxic to them. I'm glad you found the information useful. If you ever have more questions about pet-safe gardening or anything else, feel free to reach out. Happy and safe gardening! 🌿🐾
The ONLY thing thats worked for us is a fan at medium speed and finally screening the porch in.
The presentation was excellent. The hardiness zone was mentioned for only a few plants. It would be useful if the zone was stated for all of the plants. Eager to try a few of these. Thank you!
Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I need to find a plant that thrives in shade. I want to surround my front porch with mosquito repelling beauty! Leaves and Flowers are equally attractive. 😊
Beautiful Presentation!
☔✨🌎✨☔
Thank you for sharing useful information
Thank You.❤
Thank you for sharing with us your video, very informative ❤❤❤
Hmmm put a drop or 2 of oil in your water barrels or puddles. These plants are all lovely but water is growing your skeeters.
Thanks for sharing, good information

I didn't know that about chrysanthemum and painted daisies
What about "Walking Thyme?" The type you put in walkways & can walk on it. When I get my new home, I'm definitely going to use your recommendations. Especially dual use as pollinators and also mosquito repellent. Plus your recommendations can also get you craving for Italian food! LOL
I love your channel, and find it so helpful when I am looking for specific plants for places. Even though I live in Australia I just reverse the growing information and apply it to my climate.

Aww ☺️ thank you so much for your lovely reply.
Sage does not keep mosquitoes away. Not in Texas
Not in Tennessee either. ☹️
Indiana either. And burning a sage bundle would keep the people away too. 😂 We use a lemon grass spray that seems to work. Not sure it would work in plant form, but could make a spray with it. And geraniums do not work better than a light by the door does at attracting them. Lol.
Good video. Good informations. Good sharing.
I bought many of those plants seeds: French Marigold, lavender common English, catnip, chrysanthemum painted daisy, thyme, holy basil, rosemary. But I have to try to grow them since I live in tropical monsoon climate. Too hot in summer and too wet in rainy season.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience! It's great to hear you're incorporating these mosquito-repelling plants into your garden. Growing them in a tropical monsoon climate does present unique challenges, such as high heat and humidity in summer and excessive moisture during the rainy season. Here are a few tips to help your plants thrive:
- Drainage: Ensure your soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially important for plants like lavender and rosemary that prefer drier conditions.
- Sunlight: Most of these plants love full sun, so try to place them in a spot where they can get plenty of light, though some afternoon shade might be beneficial during the hottest months.
- Air Circulation: Good air flow around the plants can help reduce disease pressure, which is higher in humid climates.
- Mulching: Using mulch can help retain soil moisture during hot periods and reduce weed competition.
- Container Gardening: Consider growing in pots or containers to better control soil moisture and drainage. This can be especially helpful for herbs like thyme and rosemary.
Adapting your gardening practices to your climate will be key to success. Feel free to reach out if you need more specific advice as you grow these plants. Best of luck with your garden, and may it flourish while keeping those mosquitoes at bay! 😊
@@PlantDoHomeGarden Thank you very much. 🫶
Citronellas are amazing, especially 2 and third years they become monsters of aroma.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Great video and great information ❤
You guys missed the beauty berry bush. I live in North central Louisiana. The native population would crush beauty berry leaves and rub it on their skin. I have tried this and it works.
Right on. Got a lot of those in my woods.
Which are safe around children and pets.
Which ones are not invasive species .
Marigolds and mums will take over your yard as well as the mint family of plants ,these do well in pots .
With❤ 💐❤️ on❤
Very useful and nice video❤👍
We don't get too many mosquitos here as we have little standing water. But there are some and always find my husband and sister. I don't get attacked very often. Besides the CO2 element (and we all breathe), I'm not sure why they leave me mostly alone and attack them.
In any case, I'm planting a lot of edibles with repellant properties in my garden this year.
Thanks for teaching me about other plants I can add!!
You're soooooooo lucky!
😊😊😊😊😊
Is your blood type different than theirs?
@@cajunlady4893 🤣🤣🤣
Its what they eat
I just read this morning that mosquitos love the scent and taste of O positive blood. They seem to love me more than other people! Lol
I have several of these plants.
That's wonderful to hear! It sounds like you have a thriving garden. 😊 I’d love to hear more about your experiences with these plants. Are there any particular care tips or stories you’d like to share with our community? Happy gardening! 🌿🌸
just so everyone knows, "Mosquito repelling plants" never work. The extract oils, and or smoke from burning from these plants works great at repelling ALL insects. A better video would be which plants attract mosquitos, and sont plant them. In fact, citronella oil works pretty good at repelling mosquitos. But, live citronella plants actually actract them. The more you know...
I got rosemary nope nothing lol also had mint bad idea they loved it i gave up just use alot of spray and light some lanterns filled with mosquito repellent works wonders
Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Mix at a 3% dilution [~3 drops/TBSP] with any good carrier oil. Fractionated Coconut and Grapeseed will not leave a greasy residue.
There was a double blind study of homeopathic solutions and this was found to be as effective as DEET.
Thank you so much. I’ve ordered sharper images mosquito repellent string lights instead. I wish us all luck
A friend uses the Mosquito Deleto device. The public radio progra. You Bet Your Garden had a question of the week about mosquitos& can be found in their inline archive. It's not cheap, several hundred dollars, but I've read several studies done by various university Agriculture departments & it actually does work. I am saving up to buy one. Hoping to find a re-engineered model. The show quoted research saying lemon geranium plant is best, with lemon thyme & lemon balm also effective. But you have you have to mash up plants & rub on skin. Even having a large bunch of lemon balmsitting next to me did not prevent bites. Happy mosquito deleting!
@@TKCTSTN what?
Depends on mosquito species I guess. Now there are genetically modified mosquitoes courtesy of Bill Gates.
Use mosquito bits
I wish you would tell us if there are invasive or non invasive, in this group!
Sage is good for spirits. Yes, the lavenser and sage by the door works. But the mosquitoes are still in the yard. Will try some more plants. Stay tuned. 😁
That's great to hear about the lavender and sage! They're not only beautiful but can bring a sense of peace and purification to your space. Sorry to hear the mosquitoes are still a bother, though. Adding more plants like citronella, marigolds, or catnip might help as they're known to be natural mosquito repellents. Looking forward to hearing about your results. Keep us updated and best of luck with your gardening experiments! 😁🌿
I heard from my aunt that Citronella grass can also be natural snake repellent, not sure if it's 100% true. She's afraid of snake, so she always plants them in her garden.
That's a fascinating use of Citronella grass! While there isn't strong scientific evidence to confirm that Citronella grass can repel snakes, many people use it in their gardens for its potential repellent qualities against various pests, and its pleasant scent is definitely a bonus. It’s great to hear that it gives your aunt some peace of mind! If she or you have noticed any effects on snakes or other tips on using plants for pest control, feel free to share them with us. Happy gardening and stay safe!
Depending on where you live deer love to eat mums
Put a bucket of water in each corner of you yard. Add mosquito dunks. Stop the cycle.
What are you adding?
@@lornadoone65 Mosquito Dunks
Soo ive had half of these in a garden before and no they dont work.
Links to scientific data please?
If in the US… you should NOT only eucalyptus in ground!!
I bought some Mosquito plants. They looked nothing at all like Citronella grass.
Obviously it is not the same thing. It smelled lemon like.?.??.?.?
But I cannot find it anywhere now. I bought it originally at Lowes 3 years back.
Are u confusing lemon grass & citronella plants?
@jamielisinski6820 - More than likely, yes. I went to Lowes this weekend and they said they get it every year. They called it Mosquito plants.
@@redfaux74 I believe both are known to repel mosquitoes
Studies show mosquitoes dislike EDM. They absolutely despise Skrillex. Makes them flee and in some cases, stop procreating.
I have bee balm and catmint for hummingbirds and bees, plus lavender and marigolds so all the better if they keep mosquitoes away.
just a heads up to everyone watching : marigolds do not repel insects as commonly believed. marigolds are not pest-resistant and, in fact, attract insects like aphids, leafhoppers, and cutworms.
Spray with Bifen IT y no tienes que ver más este video 😂
Narrated by whom? Sounds like a girl from SciShow.
Bring back Deet. Problem solved
