June & Bugs Control mosquitoes by removing standing water. These include birdbaths, saucers under flower pots, drain pipes, and even playground equipment where standing water can remain in place for more than a few days. If mosquitoes are a problem, incorporate plants that naturally repel them such as scented geranium, lemon balm southernwood, catnip, nicotiana, marigold, lemon thyme, peppermint, and lavender. To protect bees and other beneficial insects from harm, avoid using pesticides. |
