10 Effective Mosquito-Repelling Plants for North Dakotans to Grow

We all look forward to summer and love the warm weather, but there is something that comes along with it that many of us can’t stand.

It doesn’t matter where you go. They are going to come after you --mosquitoes, of course. They are the peskiest of bugs if you ask me. The itching and scratching tear up your legs and ruin a nice day outside.

Danger

It's not just that they are annoying, it's also that these insects carry all kinds of deadly diseases like Malaria, West Nile, Zika, Dengue, and many others I could never learn to pronounce. We want to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

An Alternative

Instead of hosing yourself down with bug spray and putting up tiki torches and Citronella candles, there is something else you can do to keep them away from your backyard and person, and it’s something you probably like to do during warm months anyway.

Planting! You can put several plants around your home to keep mosquitoes away.

According to Garden Design, there are twelve plants you can have around to keep those awful blood-suckers far away.
