COMING SOON:

🦟 The pre-summer season is perfect for enjoying outdoor spaces without the hassle of mosquitoes. 💐 Consider natural mosquito repellents such as wild bergamot and Plectranthus colloids for effective protection.

🌸 Opt for wild bergamot to guarantee peaceful evenings on your balcony, appreciated for its resistance to cold and its anti-insect properties.

As summer approaches, spending time on the balcony or in the garden becomes more and more enjoyable, especially when there are no mosquitoes. Even if the mosquito season has not yet started, prevention is essential.

Mosquito prevention goes beyond lavender and mint

With summer comes the inevitable presence of mosquitoes and the discomfort of their bites, sometimes several times a night by the same annoying mosquito, while they collect proteins for the development of their eggs.

Fortunately, nature offers solutions with plants known to repel mosquitoes, such as mint, lemongrass and lavender. However, there is another plant that is particularly effective against mosquitoes and ideal for quiet evenings.

Choose wild bergamot for mosquito-free nights

The best option for peaceful nights is wild bergamot. Although it is mainly used to flavor tea, it serves perfectly as an insect repellent. This plant not only adds a splash of colour with its purple flowers but also ensures tranquillity. Its resistance as a perennial and its rapid growth make it low maintenance and suitable for all types of soil. It thrives well in pots, you can enjoy its flowers from early June to late July.

Additional repellent option: the false incense plant

To improve your defense against mosquitoes, consider Plectranthus colloids, also known as the false incense plant. Its aroma deters insects while providing a pleasant aroma to your home or outdoor space. Although less hardy than wild bergamot and sensitive to cold, it is a valuable addition for milder climates. In colder climates, it needs protection to survive the winter.

By incorporating these plants on your balcony or garden, you can enjoy your outdoor spaces more comfortably and without mosquitoes.
