Mosquito bites are annoying. Many even get irritated or allergic to them. Summer is coming. You should get some “tools” on hand to rebel mosquitoes. Pet-fighting plants are then recommended. Some are grown in your garden (or backyard) while some can definitely be planted indoors. I grow peppermint in a small pot at my office. And it actually works.

And, this post is about 9 plants you should grow to fight mosquitoes (and flies). If you are finding an easy yet effective method to prevent mosquito bites, these are right up your street. As a gardening lover, I give these plants an absolute yes. Peppermint, for instance, is such a powerful herb. It’s great to be added in refreshing drinks. Many summer cocktail would be incomplete with it.
