Summer is a pleasant time of year. Sunny weather pleases many people, including summer residents.
However, it is during the summer period that some gardeners face a serious problem - the appearance of a large number of mosquitoes in their country plot.
Various means are used to get rid of annoying insects. Often, it is impossible to do without "chemistry".
However, it is better to focus on safer methods of mosquito control.
What to plant on the plot
At the dacha you need to plant a plant that is a source of a strong smell.
Moreover, the aroma should be so strong that mosquitoes fly away from the area.
In this regard, a lemon tree will be an excellent "defender". Its leaves and fruits smell nice. But not for mosquitoes.
As a result, representatives of the Diptera order try to avoid the area.
It is worth noting that the lemon tree will repel many other harmful insects.
Another advantage of having the above-mentioned plant is the fact that the suburban area will look more beautiful.
However, this method is suitable for southern regions where there is no subzero temperature. Otherwise, at minus 4-6 °C, lemon leaves, young and annual shoots begin to freeze, at minus 7-8 °C, the crown is severely damaged, at minus 9 °C, the trees freeze completely.
