Get rid of mosquitoes for good by putting this planter near your front porch

Arrange your plants strategically. Place taller plants like lavender in the center and surround them with lower-growing mint to ensure all plants receive adequate sunlight and air circulation. This will keep your plants healthy and more effective at repelling pests.

5. Maintain Your Planter

Regular watering, depending on the climate and moisture level of the soil, is crucial. Be careful not to overwater, as stagnant water can attract mosquitoes. Prune the plants periodically to promote growth and prevent overgrowth, which can lessen their scent intensity.

6. Position the Planter Strategically

Place your planter in areas where you spend most of your time outdoors, such as near seating areas or dining tables. This placement ensures that the repelling aromas efficiently discourage mosquitoes from lingering.
