Sage
Sage brings more than an earthy flavor to your kitchen; it also keeps mosquitoes at bay. The plant’s strong, herbal scent comes from its natural oils, which bugs find overwhelming. You can grow sage in garden beds or containers as long as it gets full sunlight and well-drained soil. It’s drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal effort. To maximize its repellent power, toss a few dried sage leaves into a firepit or barbecue. The smoke will create an effective bug-repelling barrier during outdoor events. Whether fresh or dried, sage remains a smart addition to any mosquito-fighting setup as its a great mosquito-repelling plant.
