Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes and Ticks Away This Summer

To reduce mosquito presence in your garden, avoid planting water hyacinth, bamboo, fountain grass, hostas, and taro, as these plants create ideal breeding environments for mosquitoes due to their moisture-retentive properties and shaded, damp conditions. Employing other pest control methods, such as removing standing water and using natural repellents, can further help keep mosquitoes at bay.
