What repels bugs indoors?
Lavender isn’t the only herb bugs like to avoid. Others include catnip, lemongrass, garlic, mint, citronella, basil and bay leaves. Plant these fragrant herbs around your doorways or keep them in pots. Not only will the herbs keep insects from making themselves at home, they’ll also inspire some creative cooking! Citronella and lemongrass are great repellant plants for mosquitoes during the sweltering summer months. Lavender and marigolds are also good deterrent plants for flies and other flying insects. Make sure to place these around doors, windows, and in any space, you plan on utilizing with your family.
