Hey there! When it comes to keeping those pesky pests at bay, certain plants and herbs can be real lifesavers! πΏπ
For starters, lavender is not only a fragrant delight but also a natural insect repellent, especially against mosquitoes and flies. Basil is another winner, deterring flies and mosquitoes while adding flavor to your dishes. And don't forget about peppermint, a potent herb that spiders absolutely despise! Simply plant these around your house or in pots indoors to enjoy a pest-free environment while adding some greenery to your space. Happy gardening! π±πΌ -
Hello! Lavender is known for its pleasant fragrance, which deters mosquitoes, moths, and flies. Planting lavender around windows and doors can help keep these pests away. Basil has insect-repelling properties and can keep mosquitoes and flies at bay. Planting basil in pots near entry points or outdoor sitting areas can be effective.

Adding to the pest-repelling plant party, I've had great success with marigolds in my garden. Not only do they add a pop of color, but their strong scent keeps away aphids, mosquitoes, and even rabbits! Plus, they're super easy to grow and maintain. Another favorite of mine is rosemary β not just for cooking, but also for keeping pesky insects like mosquitoes and flies at bay. It's like having a natural bug barrier right outside your door! π
