Plants to Have at Home to Keep Spiders, Flies, and Mosquitoes Away Forever"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some aromatic or decorative plants give off an odor that bothers insects and acts as a repellent.&nbsp;Most often easy to grow, these \u201canti-insect\u201d plants can provide many services during the summer, when mosquitoes, wasps, flies and other insects have the word to ruin our lives.&nbsp;Rather than using chemical insecticides that are not very environmentally friendly, do not hesitate to use insect repellent plants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 \u2013 MELISSA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemon balm is a perennial plant that should be found in every garden.&nbsp;It has a mild, lemony scent that easily repels flies, mosquitoes and aphids.&nbsp;Plant a few feet in your vegetable garden, but also near the windows and doors of the house and near the terrace.&nbsp;You will thus have peace of mind all summer long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 \u2013 ROSEMARY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only does rosemary add flavor to your dishes, but it also helps repel insects.&nbsp;\u201cIt\u2019s another plant that\u2019s perfect for summer because it likes drought,\u201d says Carmen Johnston.&nbsp;\u201cIt&#8217;s one of my favorite smells, but mosquitoes can&#8217;t stand it.&nbsp;You can grow rosemary in pots but you can also plant it in your garden to make hedges.&nbsp;\u00bb According to Carmen Johnston, this plant also brings character to floral arrangements.&nbsp;So why not plant it outside to repel insects and for visual pleasure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 \u2013 LAVENDER<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If mosquitoes are attracted by strong odors such as sweet, fragrant creams and the heat of our bodies, they are naturally repelled by flower odors such as lavender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4 \u2013 LEMONSELLA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.4suisse.com\/sante-remise-en-forme\/faites-pousser-de-la-citronnelle-en-pot-elle-repoussera-les-moustiques-vous-permettra-de-vous-detendre-et-soulagera-vos-maux-de-tete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4suisse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ingredient in many industrial repellent products, such as sprays and candles, lemongrass is one of the most effective plants for keeping insects away from our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 \u2013 MINT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mint is a natural mosquito repellent.&nbsp;Mint spreads very aggressively in the garden.&nbsp;It is therefore preferable to grow it in a pot, unless you want it to invade the entire garden!&nbsp;Indeed, once well established in a garden, it is very difficult to get rid of it.&nbsp;Mint leaves are commonly used to flavor iced tea and other cold drinks.&nbsp;We often forget it, but know that the aromatic properties of mint leaves are also present in its stems and flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use it :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With little effort, the aromatic oils of mint are easily extracted.&nbsp;Mix these oils with apple cider vinegar and a little cheap vodka (or witch hazel floral water) to make a bug spray.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To keep insects away from surrounding plants, plant mint in pots and place them in strategic locations in your garden or patio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To stimulate the growth of broccoli, cabbage and turnips, simply add a few sprigs of mint to their mulch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6 \u2013 GREEN ANISE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green anise is a species that resembles a carrot or parsley, but is larger, around 60 centimeters.&nbsp;Its summer flowers are small, white, arranged in an umbel.&nbsp;This is an annual species that must be resown every spring, spacing its plants 30 centimeters apart.&nbsp;This plant loves the sun, rich and light soil.&nbsp;It has an anti-fly action, without us being able to understand the reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7 \u2013 OFFICINAL SAGE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sage, thanks to its very intense aroma, is perfectly able to keep insects away from your garden.&nbsp;It can also be planted in pots and placed in strategic locations.&nbsp;It has medicinal properties, but it is also very effective for flavoring white meats, fish, stuffings, sauces and vegetables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some aromatic or decorative plants give off an odor that bothers
