The threat of contracting a disease from a mosquito is very real. Not only are humans being infected with dangerous illnesses, so are animals including household pets. Over one million people are said to die each year from contracting diseases from mosquitoes. In the US, the most common disease is West Nile, but they also carry diseases like malaria, dengue fever, dog heartworm, chikungunya and the recent Zika Virus, which is responsible for outbreaks in tropical areas throughout the world and was found in 2015 for the first time in the Western Hemisphere. More can be learned about the Zika Virus, here.

4. Catnip

  • Appx. 240 seeds

  • Catnip is also a VERY effective mosquito repellent.

    According to ScienceDaily.com, nepetalactone, the essential oil in catnip that gives the plant its characteristic odor, is about ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET — the compound used in most commercial insect repellents.

    Simply grow catnip near the backyard or patio of your house.

5. Lavender

  • Appx. 50 seeds

  • Lavandula angustifolia, English Lavender, is one of the most beautiful seeds you can plant in your garden.

    The oils from lavender flowers are used to make medicines and many other household remedies.
    Lavender repels mosquitoes because mosquitoes dislike the scent of the lavender plant.

    The lavender plant is very easy to grow!

    To make a chemical-free mosquito solution, just mix lavender essential oil in water and apply directly on your skin.

    Plant lavender in pots around seating areas on your patio, backyard and garden to control mosquitoes.

6. Lemon Balm

  • Appx. 80 seeds

  • The lemon balm plant produces beautiful lemon scented leaves.

    For an easy homemade repellent, crush lemon balm leaves and then rub them onto your skin. Keep the plants growing near doorways where the leaves will be readily available when you need them.

7. Lemon Grass

  • Appx. 65 seeds.

    Lemon Grass is a tropical plant that produces a thick grass that can even be used for flavoring many culinary dishes. It can also be used to make medicinal tea for the treatment of digestive issues and fever/flu-like symptoms.

    The long lemon grass leaves should be collected by snipping them off with scissors anywhere from mid summer on.

    Mosquitoes do not care for the fragrance of lemon grass.

    Grow these attractive "grasses" near walkways and near seating areas to deter them.

8. Herb Mix

  • Appx. 120 seeds

  • Great multi-purpose variety to grow in your garden that grows well in containers.

    Basil emits its aroma without crushing the leaves.

9. Marigold, Crackerjack Mix

  • Appx. 200 seeds

  • Crackerjack Marigold flowers are big, bright, bold, and beautiful.

    They are most popular for attracting beneficial pollinators such as butterflies, bees, etc.

    However, Marigolds are great at fighting off mosquitoes.

    "Potted marigolds can be positioned near entrances to your home and any common mosquito entry points, such as open windows. The smell may deter mosquitoes from going past this barrier. While marigolds can be used as border plants around the patio, we do not advise putting marigolds on the patio table since the bright blooms may attract wasps. Besides repelling mosquitoes, marigolds repel insects which prey on tomato plants, so you may want to plant a few marigolds in your tomato bed for added protection." -source: Learn.EarthEasy.com

10. Marigold, Sparky

  • Appx. 120 seeds

  • Finely cut dark green leaves. Flat leaves. Use this parsley for garnishing, and culinary decoration. Tolerates heat better than most varieties.

11. Pennyroyal

  • Appx. 100 seeds

  • "Crushed pennyroyal stems stuck in your hat and pockets really will repel gnats and mosquitoes. Dog owners often see their dogs rolling in pennyroyal patches, and dog instincts can usually be trusted." -source "MotherEarthNews.com"

12. Rosemary

  • Appx. 20 seeds

  • Excellent flavor and extremely fragrant. Perfect to use fresh or dried. Can also be used to flavor many culinary varieties such as meats, soups, and sauces. And even used for treating headaches and known to improve circulation. Perfect for containers.

    "A simple repellent spray is made by adding 1 cup dried rosemary to a quart of water, boiling it in a pot for 20 to 30 minutes.

    Pour a quart of cool water into another container (that holds at least half a gallon), then strain the rosemary water into the container. Pour small amounts of the blend into squirt bottles to apply directly to skin and outdoor pets.

    Store the unused portions in the refrigerator; discard it when it no longer smells strongly of rosemary."

13. Sage

  • Appx. 25 seeds

  • Burn a little sage over coals to repel mosquitoes!  Works great.

14. Tansy

  • Appx. 350 seeds

  • Wormwood can make a lovely, unique border and the strong odor does a good job of keeping mosquitoes at bay.
