Plants That Keep Bugs Away

7/7/2020

 
PictureMint
If you are a homeowner with a serious green thumb, there are plants that keep bugs away to protect your family. Individual plants fight off insects. Additionally, these flowers deliver energy and color to your landscape. Below is a list that will keep your outdoor space dazzling and fun. 

Plants that Keep Bugs Away:

Marigolds

The fragrance of marigold will dissuade gnats and lice from messing with your plants. Put in flower beds close to your doors or your garden, stopping pests and even rabbits from destroying your plants.

Chrysanthemums
This flower may be the top plant to deter bugs. Spider mites, ants, silverfish, Japanese beetles, and ticks stay way if you put some chrysanthemums.
Insecticides use an element from this flower due to how good it is. These flowers discourage:
  • Ants
  • Bed bugs 
  • Silverfish
  • Ticks
  • Lice 

Mint
Mint plants may repel ants, gnats, and spiders. Use caution when you plant mint since it spread quickly. 

Basil
Fend off flies, mosquitoes, and gnats with this fantastic herb. Plant some basil by your front and back doors to deter bugs from getting inside. You also have basil to use in your recipes.

Citronella grass
We all know this is a component of mosquito repellents. But most folks don't know it's a grass. Put citronella in planters close to your doors to stop insects from coming inside. 

Lavender
Gnats hate the scent that so many of us enjoy. Put some plants in your windowsills. 

Chives
If you have chives growing, flies and Japanese beetles will be a thing of the past. 

Garlic
Famous for its health advantages and seasoning, garlic will keep flies, moths, beetles, and maggots from your plants. Put garlic plants close to your rosebush to stop aphids from snacking on your flowers. 

Rosemary
Rosemary safeguards your veggie plants by warding off a vast assortment of bugs that desire to eat your plants. 

Protecting Your Lawn

These plants should help you have to deal with fewer insects. Though, bugs could be diligent and discover ways to get past many defenses. Call us at Syracuse Tree Service when you want more information on bug resistant plants. ​
