"Effective Mosquito Control: Tips and Tricks for a Bug-Free Home"

Lavender is a natural mosquito repellent that can be used on your porch to keep the pesky insects away. Its strong odor overwhelms their sense of smell and causes them to stay away. You can grow lavender around your home or use a few drops of essential oil to get the same effect. Lavender also repels flies, ants, and rodents. However, keep it away from dogs and cats as it's toxic to them.
