With summer in full swing, I've got a few garden gatherings lined up. But, there's one thing I'm cautious to avoid when hosting friends and family in my backyard this season: mosquitoes. They can be unpleasant to be around and as someone who gets quite bad reactions to bug bites, I really am willing to try anything to keep these pesky insects away.
When it comes to getting rid of mosquitoes, I'm keen to try natural pest control methods first. That's why I'm delighted to have discovered there are several plants to avoid growing if you don't want to attract mosquitoes – these plants are particular mosquito magnets, so not having them in your yard is a precaution worth taking.
