I’ve got a small off grid place near a pond. The pond is nice to ponder at, but also a lovely breeding ground for mosquitos.

Therefore, I keep the door to the cabin usually closed.

But, as temperature is rising, I’m wondering if a screen door + some naturally mosquito repelling plants near the entrance might do the trick as well. So I can get some air flow at night.

Are there any such plants you know of? Preferentially perennial.

    Zone, soil type, and sun would help narrow things down.

    Lemongrass did well for me, but that won’t survive most winters. Unless you’re okay with keeping things in pots and wintering indoors

      You’re right! Climate zone is cfb. The place is shaded by trees.

      Wintering indoors is sadly not possible, as there’s no climate controlled indoors nearby.

      Thanks
