The pastime on the personal plot and all the work in the garden and the garden would be a hundred times more pleasant and easier if it were not for these small pests! Buzzing alarming, biting hurt!

Personally, I decided not to use incomprehensible chemical sprays and creams from them, expensive traps. Instead, I just supplemented the site with some plants.

Absolutely harmless to humans, but getting rid of midges and mosquitoes!

Basil

I especially love it because it is useful in another way - after all, it is an appetizing spice of Mediterranean cuisine! Basil is unpretentious, undemanding to soil and care, so I sow it in the garden in "shreds".

Thus, you can safely take care of vegetables and berry crops.

Black elderberry

In addition to mosquitoes with midges, it also repels flies. I recommend planting this shrub near buildings and sheds, where fruits are dried and dried in the air in summer.

You can also place this elderberry closer to the barbecue area - the flies will not touch the treat.

Sagebrush

Today it also exists in many decorative varieties, so it will not look like a weed on the site.

In addition, wormwood can always be used to prepare infusions to protect cultural plantings from pests.

Lavender

Speaking, in France in Provence it is customary to plant it under the windows of houses. This makes sense - lavender essential oils not only drive away bad insects, but also have a positive effect on human emotions, relieve stress and improve sleep.

Lemon catnip

A wonderful plant that completely gets rid of mosquitoes. But when planting it, you need to take into account that its name is "speaking".

In the sense that if cats live with the owners on the site, they will raid the lemon catnip and meow very loudly, become more active and playful. Therefore, this option may not be suitable for everyone.

Marigold

Wonderful flowers decorating the garden with a scattering of sun amber even after the mosquitoes disappear at the end of the season. Marigolds can also be sown in the garden. And in the flower garden.

Near fruit trees. Because they also repel insect pests that cause a decrease in yield and death of plants.

In conclusion of the topic, I want to add that when planting all these plants, it is important to take into account the Rose of the Winds - so that the aroma from them fills the site, scaring away insects, and does not fly away.
