If you also have had enough of these annoying insects and want to get rid of them permanently, you cannot help but try these six natural remedies to protect your body and permanently keep mosquitoes away from you!

Mentha longifolia, basil, lemongrass, calendula, cat grass, rosemary, garlic, and lavender --- these are the plants most hated by mosquitoes. They have a natural repellent effect and can also decorate your garden while at the same time protecting you from unwanted guests.

Apparently not only the vampires run away from garlic! Eating garlic keeps mosquitoes away, however, if you do not particularly like this herb you can boil it and spray the liquid in places infested by mosquitoes.
