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.
Plant plants to attract birds that eat mosquitoes- where I live, that’s hummingbirds. They eat their weight in insects daily, not just nectar. Sages are a good choice. Add a bat box to your property- bats also eat mosquitoes. Put some fish in your pond that eat mosquito larvae. Also add more aeration to your pond to discourage breeding, I like solar powered aerators.
