The most effective plants with mosquito bites
Feverfew (pyrethrum maiden) is a very beautiful and unpretentious plant, which insects fighters often plant around the perimeter of the back yard, as well as next to the entrance doors.
Flowers scare away absolutely all flying insects - from microscopic mosquitoes to giant dragonflies. And aversion to pyrethrum occurs at the genetic level.
By the way, this plant was actively used in medical facilities (especially in Europe of the Middle Ages). It was considered the best medicine for nervous disorders, headache and bloating.
Pennyroyal (marsh mint) is an irreconcilable enemy of all American midges, mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. The most important thing is to use mint properly.
Unlike pyrethrum, it does not scare off insects with just being present on the lawn.
However, if you tear off a couple of leaves and gently smear them with the forehead, neck, shoulders and hands, then protect yourself for several hours.
Remember that marsh mint is almost always a part of creams and sprays from insects. With the same success it can be used and in kind.
Lavender - this plant Americans are most often grown in small pots that are placed around the house, mainly in the window sills, near the doors, on special fasteners along the perimeter of the fence.
Lavender is a plant that continues to frighten insects even after their death. If the flower wilted, then just crush it, put it in a rag bag and put it in the wardrobe for clothes and shoes.
Your wardrobe will be fragrant with lavender, and after mosquitoes and gnats from the house cockroaches with moth will leave.
Marigolds - are the most beautiful flowers that American homeowners like to plant in large numbers. Marigolds are unarmed in front of flying insects, but quickly overtake fear on crawling: beetles, aphids, millipedes. One bush of flowers can insure the land from harmful insects within a radius of three meters. The main weapon of the marigolds is the substance thiopenes contained in the roots.
Citronella Grass (citronella) - this herb is used to make factory candles that repel insects in the dark. It is extremely unpretentious and can grow anywhere in your back yard. An ideal place for planting citronella - the corners near the fence.
By the way, this herb has a calming effect on dogs. If the neighbor's dog is too aggressive and bark a lot, then just plant 5-6 citronella bushes on the border between the houses. The animal immediately calms down.
Finally, I will say that there are more than 10,000 insect control products on the American market. Some need to be smeared on the skin, others - spray at the location, others - plug into a socket or set on fire. I do not recommend specific brands, but I strongly advise you to read the product review at the largest online stores in America before buying.
Unfortunately, some chemical repellents deliver people no less problems than insects themselves. They smell foul, cause allergic reactions, make a person sneeze, itch and cry. In general, one hundred percent of the effective way to protect yourself from ubiquitous insects, unfortunately, does not exist.
