Surely your garden or orchard is plagued by mosquitoes that fly around as if they own the place. Don’t worry, just place a few plants strategically in your garden to act as an insect repellent. Insect “repelling” plants secrete an oil that small flies such as gnats, midges, or horseflies do not like at all. This oil can even be diluted in water to make your own natural insect repellent.
