    I was wondering if there are other plants or shrubs than the Pelargonium Citrosa and Minor to keep the musquitoes at bay.
    The Pelargonium Citrosa has the name that it keeps the musquitoes at bay but it is absolute not effective. So I look for different options.
    Hope somebody can help me.

    mosquito control

    The Dec. 2001 issue of Discover Magazine mentions trials that have proved very successful with Catnip - I thi nk that is Nepeta Cataria(?) - 'tho they mention more using the oil n clothing, bedding etc. However, it might be worth a try -easy to get hold of at least! Good luck! Westgate.
