A summer evening outside the city is a great time to enjoy relaxing in the garden.

But insects can disturb the peace. First of all, we are talking about mosquitoes, which quickly attack open areas of skin. As a result, the summer resident suffers from itching for some time.

But if you plant some plants in the yard or in pots, mosquitoes will forget the way to this house. The fact is that some flowers, greenery and even trees can scare away these pests.

First of all, you should plant marigolds. They will perfectly decorate the space around the house and also drive away parasites.

You can plant lavender, which will scare away not only mosquitoes, but also flies and even ticks.
