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.
I am lucky enough that there’s a lot of bats already.
I worry about poison, because I fear it might kill other insects, too. The place is one of the only places I know of that still has fireflies for example.
Thanks for letting me know not to bother with the ultrasonic gadgets and other gizmos.
