I made this page because I know a lot of people have the same main question as I did when I heard about mosquito plants. You hear about all the machines, chemicals, etc. to get rid of nature?s biggest pest, but still have the question.
Do mosquito plants do the trick?
In short, yes. Before I divulge into that though, let?s look at the background of mosquito plants.
The mosquito plant is made of two things, the citronella grass the scented geranium. If you mix the two together, it is a formula that keeps mosquitoes away. These are available every spring, or year around in warmer climates.
You need to decide on where you want to place these mosquito plants. Most people who use them say they are best utilized in a high-activity area. If you walk by them and brush up against them, the odor becomes more active and mosquitoes stay far away.
If you are looking for a natural type of bug spray, you can also use the plant?s oils to rub on your skin. I would make sure that you are not allergic to this plant first though, so only use a small dose the first time.
Planting a new mosquito plant also takes some planning. You want it to be in a hot and dry place as well if you want it to grow large. The larger the plant is, the more odor the thing will emit to keep the pests away.
The cost of these mosquito plants vary depending on the size you want. A small one can cost just 5 dollars, while big ones cost around 50 dollars. These are available at all the local nurseries and green houses.
Surprisingly, online retailers sell these plants as well, and for very cheap. They will ship them to quickly and safely as well. This comes in handy if your local nursery is a little low on inventory.
