🪴 Why Natural Defence Works
You don’t always need chemicals to keep mosquitoes out of your garden. Many common plants release aromas that mosquitoes can’t stand — creating a simple, eco-friendly barrier.
🌸 1. Lavender
Mosquitoes dislike lavender’s floral scent, while humans love it.
Grow it near seating areas or doorways for a natural repellent wall.
Bonus: Lavender oil is one of the natural fragrances found in our Camo® Family Spray.
🌿 2. Basil
Basil emits compounds that mosquitoes avoid even without crushing the leaves. Keep pots on sunny windowsills or patios — they’ll add flavour and protection.
🌾 3. Citronella Grass
Citronella is the classic mosquito-repelling plant because it contains the same oil used in candles and sprays.
Combine it with a Citriodiol®-based spray for double protection.
🍃 4. Lemon Balm
Rich in natural citronellal, lemon balm deters mosquitoes while attracting pollinators. Rub a leaf lightly on your wrists before heading outside.
🌱 5. Mint
Peppermint and spearmint both mask scents mosquitoes use to find you. Plant around doorways or crush leaves into a spray bottle with water for a quick DIY mist.
✨ Final Tip
Pair your garden planting with a Camo® 30% Fine Mist Spray on cushions and outdoor fabrics — the combination keeps bites at bay all summer.
