Use Plants To Your Advantage
Plants not only give great color and serenity, they can also boost curb appeal and even keep pests in your garden in check.
Plant a few and reap the rewards.
Here are some plants that can repel pests:
- Basil repels flies. Place pots in your window sill and in the kitchen or sun porch.
- Catnip repels mosquitos, but, a work of caution: It will make your yard very popular to neighborhood cats.
- Artemesia (including wormwood and sagebrush) repels ants, whiteflies and moths and may repel mice.
- Marigolds repel insects.
- Garlic repels insects and rabbits.
- Spearmint repels ants, fleas, moths and rodents.
Plants that attract beneficial insects:
- Bachelor's Button attracts Ladybugs, lacewings and beneficial wasps.
- Sweet Alyssum attracts flower lilies
- Borage attracts lacewings
- Anise Hyssop attracts butterflies
- Golden Marguerite attracts ladybugs, lacewings and flower flies
- Oranmental Grasses attracts Ladybugs and ground beetles
