Are you looking for a natural way to keep your yard free of bothersome mosquitoes?  Why not purchase a mosquito plant to place in your yard near your entertaining or picnic area?  Planting or potting a mosquito plant near your outdoor seating area assures you assured to keep an area up to 10 sq. ft. virtually free of mosquitoes.

A mosquito plant is actually wild thyme, which is indigenous to the greater part of Europe.  The blooms of the plant are attractive to bees, so keep this in mind when looking for a solution to ridding your area of mosquitoes.  The plant has a lemony scent that repels mosquitoes away from where it is located.

Mixing traits of the Chinese citronella grass with a geranium hybrid originally made the mosquito plant.  They like full sun, but can also thrive in partial shade.  When potted, these plants can easily be moved indoors in the colder months.  When you are spending a lot of time outdoors in the summer, place the pots near your picnic tables or lounge chairs to enjoy a mosquito-free environment.
