Mosquito-Repellent Plants to Grow on Your Balcony
For people who enjoy gardening, certain plants are commonly associated with mosquito control.
Popular choices include:
- Citronella-scented plants.
- Basil.
- Scented geraniums.
- Lemon verbena.
- Lavender.
Placing these plants near windows, patio doors, or frequently used areas of a balcony can add pleasant scents to the space. However, simply growing these plants is unlikely to provide complete mosquito protection.
They work best as part of a broader prevention strategy.
