Why Grandma Never Had Mosquitoes

Eleven plants that repel mosquitoes, ticks, wasps, and flies naturally. No chemicals, no monthly pest-control bills. Your grandmother used most of these. Total cost: under sixty dollars. This video covers eleven pest-repelling plants you can grow in common US hardiness zones, including lavender, rosemary, citronella grass, lemongrass, chrysanthemums, marigolds, basil, catnip, peppermint, thyme, and petunias. Each plant includes zone data, nursery cost, which pests it targets, and where to place it in your yard for maximum protection. You will also learn a layered placement strategy using three concentric rings of defense around your home, turning individual plants into a complete pest-control system. Several of these plants double as cooking herbs, meaning your pest protection also seasons your dinner. The total startup cost comes in under sixty dollars, compared to four hundred to seven hundred dollars a year for chemical pest-control services. Perennials come back every spring for free.
