Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I recently purchase geraniums. The Orange Fizz geranium produces a scent to repel mosquitoes. One other article claimed mosquito grass is better. They both are plants that are natural suppliers of citronella i was told. I am not certain - so please research before you purchase the plants. Factcheck.com may know the best method. I keep mine in pots that can easily be moved to where they are needed that evening. my problems lately are deer. leeli __________ You're never too old to date.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I read that 1 tablespoon vanilla in 1 cup of water applied to the skin will help. Also, place vanilla extract in small containers where gnats gather, and it will attract them and drown them.
