While no plant can completely eliminate mosquitoes, there are some plants that contain natural compounds that can help repel them. Here are 10 plants that are believed to be effective in keeping mosquitoes away:

• Citronella: This is one of the most popular mosquito-repelling plants. The scent of citronella masks other scents, making it difficult for mosquitoes to find their targets.

• Lavender: Lavender has a sweet scent that humans find pleasant, but mosquitoes don't like it. Plant it near windows or doorways to keep mosquitoes away.

• Lemon balm: The citrusy scent of lemon balm is effective in repelling mosquitoes. Crush the leaves and rub them on your skin for added protection.

• Marigolds: Marigolds contain pyrethrum, a natural insecticide that mosquitoes don't like. Plant them around your outdoor seating areas to keep mosquitoes at bay.

• Basil: Basil contains compounds that repel mosquitoes. Plant it near doorways and windows, or keep a pot on your patio table.

• Catnip: Catnip contains a natural chemical called nepetalactone, which is ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET, the active ingredient in most insect repellents.

• Peppermint: The strong scent of peppermint is unpleasant to mosquitoes. Plant it near outdoor seating areas, or use the essential oil to make a natural insect repellent.

• Rosemary: Rosemary contains compounds that repel mosquitoes, and it's also a great herb for cooking. Plant it near your outdoor kitchen or grill.

• Sage: Sage contains thujone, a natural insect repellent. Plant it near outdoor seating areas, or burn dried sage as a natural mosquito repellent.

• Thyme: Thyme contains compounds that repel mosquitoes. Plant it in pots near your seating areas, or crush the leaves and rub them on your skin for added protection.
