Especially in your own (Schreber) garden there are a lot of possibilities, the little ones insects keep away. First, however, the solutions that do not require a lot of effort and of course also work differently everywhere:

Quick help against mosquitoes

  • Wear light-colored clothes - mosquitoes are more likely to jump on dark clothes. Pay particular attention to the color of your clothes in the evening, as this is the most dangerous time for mosquito bites.
  • Use an insect repellent lotion. If you have to go quickly: There are also sprays.
  • Avoid sweet perfumes. Anything that smells sweet attracts mosquitoes. That is why people who are often plagued by stings are also referred to as 'sweet blood'.
  • Put citronella-scented tea lights in the garden.
  • Repel wasps - these plants help

    Allergy sufferers and small children can find wasps, which are particularly annoying in late summer ...

Permanently effective against Mosquitoes proceed in the garden

  • Plant tomato plants in different places in your garden or in your window boxes. Mosquitoes don't like the smell and stay away.
  • Just like citronella scent, lemongrass also drives away the annoying insects. Plant it or put it in small pots.
  • Frankincense plants can also help. Alternatively, you can light incense sticks. Outside, the scent isn't particularly intense - at least for people.
  • Last but not least: also lavender plants orĀ mint keep mosquitos away. Attention: lavender only works in plant form. The small scented sachets for the wardrobe are ineffective in the garden.
