Mosquitoes absolutely hate these 12 plants. Plant them in your backyard, patio, and say goodbye to them for good

Citronella is perhaps the most well-known mosquito-repellent plant. Its oil is a common ingredient in many commercial mosquito repellents. The plant itself, a type of grass, emits a strong lemony scent that mosquitoes find offensive. Citronella is best grown in large pots or garden beds where it can receive full sun and adequate drainage. Its tall, grassy appearance makes it a versatile addition to any garden.
