Mosquito Plants Information
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.
Can mosquito plants take care of the problem?
In short, yes. Before I divulge into that though, let?s look at the background of mosquito plants.
Made of citronella grass and scented geranium, the mosquito plant blends well to give out an odor that keeps mosquitoes away. These can be purchased just about anywhere when summer is about to start.
After buying one, you need to place it somewhere people will be passing. That way, it will have maximum performance. If you brush up against a mosquito plant, it will also help its odor.
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.
Mosquito plants are found in nurseries everywhere, and are the cheapest way to keep away the flying pests. You can buy a small one for as little as $5. The more mature plants will run up to about $50.
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.
