I made this page because I know a lot of people have the same main question as I did when I heard about mosquito plants. You hear about all the machines, chemicals, etc. to get rid of nature?s biggest pest, but still have the question.

Do mosquito plants work?

In short, yes. Before I divulge into that though, let?s look at the background of mosquito plants.

The mosquito plant is made of two things, the citronella grass the scented geranium. If you mix the two together, it is a formula that keeps mosquitoes away. These are available every spring, or year around in warmer climates.

You need to decide on where you want to place these mosquito plants. Most people who use them say they are best utilized in a high-activity area. If you walk by them and brush up against them, the odor becomes more active and mosquitoes stay far away.

Bug sprays are usually made from chemicals, but rubbing the oil of the mosquito plant on you can act as a natural spray. The only thing I suggest though is you test to make sure you are not allergic to the product.

Planting a new mosquito plant also takes some planning. You want it to be in a hot and dry place as well if you want it to grow large. The larger the plant is, the more odor the thing will emit to keep the pests away.

Mosquito plants are found in nurseries everywhere, and are the cheapest way to keep away the flying pests. You can buy a small one for as little as $5. The more mature plants will run up to about $50.

Since you are online right now though, you might want to check out online selections. These places will ship your plants out quickly. If your local nursery doesn?t have what you want, they just might. Give it a shot.
