Mosquito repellant plants for zone 7a

[Ashley Hester]

Looking to maybe plant a mosquito repellant near our garden since it seems to be the best place mosquitos breed around our property. Any recommendations for my zone? Any that are perennial? Thanks!

make sure any standing water is not allowed. And encourage bats to live near your area. you can research bat houses etc. we have som wee bats that dart about at dusk eating the mosquitos. .

We just saw a bat flying around the night before last. Part of the problem is out of our hands. Our neighbor has a pool I’m confident she barely uses and her property backs up to another neighbors that allows for water to collect when it rains a lot and rains hard.
