Anti-mozzie plant experience? (1 Viewer)

[AlanandMayya]

A quick internet search suggests mint, rosemary, lemon grass and lavender strongly repel mosquitos. Anyone tried growing them (or anything else) in small pots; stand them outside in the day to grow, take inside at night to stop the blighters flying in? Im about to try it. The agricultural co-op here in Moncarapacho sells all sorts in small pots.

Thermacell mozzie repellants -> The supplies to keep them running can be expensive, but they really work. It's fake chemical similar to what some of the plants use but concentrated.

Having had Dengue Fever twice in Thailand its very nasty ,and almost fatal both times i hate mozzies , no commercial or plant repellent seems effective and thai folk remedies are also crap,, powerful aircon in closed room is effective as are mosquito nets drenched in DVT ,,,mozzie coils are mildly effective as its copious amounts of hash smoke ,, and petrol they dont like petrol so rub it on .... oh and petrol does not keep girls or snakes away .....fortunately I like snakes
