5 plants that keep mosquitoes away

It is officially mosquito season, what with the endless short rains and sprouting grass. Mosquitoes love that. Mosquito nets alone are not enough to keep these bugs away because they will bite you even before bedtime while on the couch. The good news is there are plants that repel mosquitoes and you will not need insecticides for your sanity. Stop by at your local roadside nursery and ask for any of these plants. You will be surprised they cost between thirty and one hundred shillings only.
