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.
Not exactly what you asked, but… I use: Culinex tabs against mosquitos.
You put it in a bucket or other body of water and will kill the larvae before they hatch.
I use this with moderate success. I think my limited success is the nature of the creek constantly cycling out water.
In the US they can be bought as mosquito bits/dunks https://summitchemical.com/products/mosquito-bits/
It is important to note this is not a poison. It is a naturally occurring bacteria that is harmless to the food chain (Bacillus thuringiensis). That is important to me and, I think, a lot of others.
