 1. Citronella — the most well-known plant

Citronella is one of the most effective plants against mosquitoes. Its strong citrus scent naturally repels insects. It is also often used in candles and sprays.

 2. Lavender — beauty and protection together

Lavender is not only beautiful, but its scent is unpleasant for mosquitoes. It is ideal for a yard or a balcony.

 3. Basil — a practical choice

Basil, which is also used in the kitchen, effectively repels mosquitoes as well. It works especially well near a window or on a balcony.

 4. Rosemary — a strong aroma

Rosemary's scent is pleasant for people, but not for mosquitoes. You can plant it in the garden or in a pot.

 5. Mint — easy to grow

Mint grows quickly and its scent repels many insects. It is a good choice for beginners.

💡 Pro Tip:
Place the plants in areas where you sit often — the balcony, terrace, or entrance. That way, you'll maximize the effect.
