a great job at repelling mosquitos<\/a>, but it also adds beautiful greenery to your garden or patio. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLavender<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Before we get into the insects that lavender repels, it is important to note that lavender blossoms can attract bees. If you are allergic to bees, planting lavender near your patio or doorways may not be the best idea. How does lavender repel bugs? It contains linalool, which is a compound that contributes to the plant\u2019s natural aroma. Other plants also contain linalool, but lavender seems to have the highest content and is the most effective at repelling bugs. You can harvest your lavender and hang some bundles around your patio and indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marigolds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Marigolds add vibrant colors to your garden or patio planters. Ranging from red and orange to yellow, marigolds make the perfect additions to your vegetable garden bed. They help keep tomato hornworms away, so consider planting them next to your tomato plants. Marigolds are very popular summer plants that also deter plant lice, mosquitos, and even rabbits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chrysanthemums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The primary reason that insects avoid chrysanthemums is because the flower contains pyrethrin, a neurotoxin that kills insects. Don\u2019t worry about your furry friends because it is safe for animals. According to research, the list of insects that these flowers repel is quite extensive, including ants, roaches, silverfish, lice, fleas, spider mites, ticks, bedbugs, and harlequin bugs. Plus, the flowers are just stunning to look at!<\/p>\n
