Here is a good tip to repel mosquitos naturally. Instead of using chemical bug repellents that often come in wasteful plastic containers, try growing plants that naturally repel mosquitoes around your home. Lemon balm is excellent for attracting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies while keeping mosquitoes at bay with its scent. Peppermint is another effective option; plant them around your home or you can crush the leaves to release its strong aroma and even dab it on your skin for immediate protection. Basil not only gives flavor to food dishes but also repels mosquitoes due to a specific chemical it has. Plant basil near water sources to reduce mosquito breeding.
