Plant Your Way to Mosquito-Free Summers | Venice Beach News

Summer’s here, and so are the mosquitoes — but don’t panic, your garden can be your secret weapon. Scientists predict more bug-filled days as temps rise, but planting lemon-scented herbs like citronella, lemon balm, and scented geraniums can turn your yard into a no-fly zone. Even lavender helps. Crush those leaves and rub them on your skin for natural repellant — or go classic with DEET if you’re extra sensitive. Smart planting + a little DIY = itch-free summer nights.
