- What plants keep insects at bay? In this video, we will show you 7 plants that repel insects and bugs.
Mosquitoes and flies are two insects that regularly fly around our house and annoy us, and as if that wasn’t already bad enough, they can also transmit diseases. Whenever we notice them around our house, our first reaction is usually to grab some repellent to keep them away.
But did you know that there are some plants that can also keep these insects far away from your home? And they can also keep other pests away such as aphids, cochineals and caterpillars. The best part is that they’re natural and smell much better than bug spray!
These plants repel insects due to the essential oils present in them, which happen to be what give them their pleasant odor. In other words, having rosemary or lavender planted in your garden will significantly reduce the appearance of these unwanted insects.
In today’s video we’re going to show you some of the best plants to keep insects and pests away from our homes and gardens.
Basil
Marigolds
Catnip
Rosemary
Chrysanthemum
Geranium
Citronella

I live in south Sinai, Egypt. I have rosemary, basil, geranium outside my doors and I tried rubbing them on but found the mosquitos take no notice whatsoever. I still get bitten and the still come inside the house despite our best efforts, unfortunately...
👏😭
God has cursed you ....you gunna need a burning bush.....take burning bush and chase insects out of house .
ahaha I'm sorry but its kinda funny
Add citronella and society garlic it will repel mosquitoes
i live on the east coast of the US and struggle with the samething. i grow basil, catnip, lemonbalm, rosemary, yet i still get bit
So a question, if i were to hang a plant 'tray' around / in front of my windows and doors - would this help in preventing those nasty little buggers to enter the house?
and would combining these plants in the garden - in some flower pots on the table or next to the garden lounge seats, help in preventing the mosquitoes to approach?
Great video
Líes .... i have them all and still have Miskitos in my patio. Have to light up tiki torches to help keep ‘em out ....
Mia's Place/ Beva-Flores yup video is full of bs
Wonderful Information
Since my deck is in Direct Sunlight about 5-8 hours a day which of these plants work well Hanging Off My Deck? Thanks,,
I have basil in my garden...nothing seems to attack my basil but all my other plants are getting attacked by worms, aphids and insects that are right next to them and I keep getting bit up by mosquitoes I can't even see or feel on me. It's so bad I'm spraying off on me before going outside every time.
Sweet basil attracts flies...
This is a good video. Very helpful. Adding info about each plants' growing climate would be helpful though. (Just some feedback.) Thanks.
I have two huge rosemary and basil plants in my garden, and every time i shake them hundreds of mosquitos come out of them!! They do smell nice! But they certanly dont repell mosquitos!
haha
Pablo Cruz just get Venus flytraps all around the yard. Sure you’re garden will look Alien-like but at least there will be less pests in your plants
Ooops haha.
VERY TRUE OUR BASIL ARE EATEN BY MOSQUITOS!!!!
Haha
Merry golden is a nice flower
It would have been great if you mentioned their scientific names so that people can look for them in places with other names/languages.
Got a lot of information in a short period of time.
Is lemongrass also a good way too as do use As a mosquito repellent?
If you live where there are centipedes, Citronella will attract them even though it repels mosquitoes and other insects really well.
Centipedes eat roaches and other pests don't they?
"Catnip - may attract cats"
I see it as a complete win...no rodents are coming into the garden anymore...
Ummm not sure what to believe because I have some of these plants in my dyi garden like rosemary thyme and basil and let me tell a lot of fly bugs and so on so not sure if these is true just my opinion
Thanks good to know.what plants help with fruit flies.I wash my fruit but still have a trouble with them.I think i don't remember to wash my citrus fruits.
best
going to try out
Thanks a lot ...n keep rocking for future videos like this...
Flies not liking basil is a myth. Try it yourself, in my garden flies don’t mind sitting in the basil.
LOL
Lemon thyme also is a good insect repellant. 😉
I.C. U. There's always one.
I.
Nice to hear a human.
I have planted rosemary but sad part is that mileybugs are destroying my rosemary plant.
Could you please do a video on plants and essential oils which repel cockroaches ?
Hello Priyanha! We have an interesting video on how to repelt cockroaches, take a look here: ruclips.net/video/kCnMViwj-SA/видео.html
Thank you so much for this video because most of the world a have a big bug problems subscribe to this youtuber for this environmental friendly pesticide
😂😂😆 there is a wife/husband/kids/siblings pests joke somewhere in this video. We just need to know what plant works best for each
The birds like geraniums. They are living in my sister's big hanging basket on her front porch!
Mosquitoes repellent through house plants. Research institutions; must initiate the project.
Where can I get those pots in the thumbnail
eucalyptus tree and basil
Hi, the last plant from your list. You may want to check on the name? I know the plant as lemongrass, citronella is more like a bushy plant.
Yes you are correct. I just read they make citronella oil from lemongrass. However I get bit by mosquitoes all the time and have bought citronellas. I rub the leaves on me and it helps a ton. This area is in the NC/SC border area, so maybe it's a subspecies where the citronella plant helps. Either way it's pleasant smelling so I recommend.
duno y but mosquitos in my garden love basil ☺️
How do I keep fleas away. There bad here in Alabama.
Find Guyana thick leaf thyme
I wonder whether carnivorous plants might help?
I’m 6
The 1-minute intro is unnecessarily long.
Almost 2 minutes...
Your complaint has been noted and then tossed in the trash ....
A lot of comments say that some don't work but what if they repel the insects from you by attracting them to the plant 🤔
Is there anything that would repel Metcalfa Pruinosa insects?
I do have many lemongrass, but it's not so working on any mosquitoes.
I guess chemical repellent spray is better
*All that trying and planting and praying it will work.... You'll ending up buying a bottle of Bug Spray AND it will be cheaper!* 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Citronella is the plant that keeps mosquitos away!
My lord! It took long enough to get to the point! After that frustrating wait, it was a good video.
Those don't look like the citronella leaves I'm acquainted with. They look more like lemon grass leaves.
that's correct. The video shows lemon grass, not citronella.

I fly around my apartment at midnight and feed on flies and moths so I never see any flies after 2am 😈😈
Kunta Kinte how?
LMAOOOO!!!!
Not sure if works. I have done it with Basil and rosemary....Basil grows pests itself so badly....
How to keep insects from eating the plants like basil?
BS! I have tons of herbs and all those you named and everything is organic and guess what I have about 25 types of insects around my house. Aphids love to attack my herbs especially my basils, mint, rosemary, sage, brinjal, you name it. I have leaf miner attacking my bean plants, spider net on all plants, scales on my custard apple trees, various caterpillar species, grasshopper, white fly, black fly, beetles and strange looking things. And they are hungry as hell. So nope, these plants do not chase insects away. In fact they attract insects due to the fragrance. The only way to minimize the insects is to use home made spray but then it only lasts a few days.
Also I was fed up too so I got sticky traps and electric insect zappers. These help better than the plants. Buying ladybugs can help but only if you release them early in the season, and praying mantis but they are indiscriminate consumers and will also eat each other.lol. Anyway good luck with your garden in spite of the challenges.
💚💪🏾
lemon grass , smash it , it give out a strong smell , which keep any insect away , mix with water and spray
Is aloevera good mosquito repellant?
Ohh ok :D
My basil got eaten by bugs. Also before the green colour flea looks ..yikes. the whole thing infested.
I HAVE SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE ON THE SUGGESTED PLANTS AND THEY ALWAYS DDIE.
Elizabeth B make sure that you don’t over water them that’s the main reason why most plants die
Im a lemon youre so right..i learnt it the hard way
Ok but do any of these attract bees? I feel like the geranium would at the very least
Quiero el video en español
one of the wrong information of the image was citronella. The last leave in the video shows lemon grass but the commenter said that was citronella leaves.
it appears we have dengue epidemic in our side of the woods,.
In theory these plants repel insects, but jus like humans insects are also evolving with surroundings
Agree
So a swift fist in the face is still the recommended method
The last part of the lemon grass not citronella
nop its not every body just say in youtube video i say its a fake information. i have 5 types of Basil, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregon, Sage, Mints but still coming Mosquitoes and Other Insects.
The picture for citronella looks like lemon grass?
emb Lemongrass contain citronella oil.
Yep. The picture is wrong.
WARNING:
When you make certain oils and sprays from these plants it can harm your pets and your babies. Do research these before making these and spraying around your house. You wouldn't want to rush your baby to the hospital, would you?
That cockroach one I need plenty... 😋
T B hahahaha

Marigolds are edible and nothing was mentioned about placing in salads.
*All that trying and planting and praying it will work.... You'll ending up buying a bottle of Bug Spray AND it will be cheaper!* 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Catnip=Cats=No Mice
Where do you get Citronella?
Mary Felix… the pix in this is the lemongrass plant. I live in NYS, where it can’t survive our winters. In the summer here it does fine. I grew it from a small plant I bought at a gardening place. I grew it in a large pot. By September it was 3 feet tall and beautiful. I’m sure you can find a small plant for yourself on amazon. Remember to water it regularly and keep it outdoors where there’s sunshine...that’s all I did. Good luck and enjoy.
Flys dont care about geranium also geranium dosnt really have much of a scent
I have 12 plants like you
*All that trying and planting and praying it will work.... You'll ending up buying a bottle of Bug Spray AND it will be cheaper!* 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Grow neem trees! Burn the dried neem leaves, nd neem oil is wonderful too!! It works!!
Myra Mo, no shit? You do know neem trees can't grow in colder climates.
I got all the plants, hours later so much bees came for the flowers! I had to call the cops to get the beekeepers to come!
Heard bug machines should use chrysanthemums said an entomologist
Since when butterflies became pests?
Lemon
Marigold
Basil
Rosemary
Witch hazel
Chrysanthemum
Citronella
Lemongrass
Catnip
Lavender
Or you can copy and paste and also share with your friends and relatives
I have most of these plants and still get killed by bugs . I must live in a jungle?
MYTH!
Is citronella the same lemon grass
elaine mighty they are different plants. The video showed lemongrass not citronella. Lemongrass is effective at repelling bugs and many commercial
products will combine the oils of both plants.
I have lots of catnips in my backyard and it didn't repel mosquitos 😆
Does OREGANO repel mosquitoes and other insects?
Please Reply
Joshua Rosales, no. True or false oregano does NOT repel mosquitoes.
However, dried Oregano (the true or false), Thyme, Rosemary or Sage, will repel clothes moths (just like mothballs only safer for humans and animals).
Lavender is overrated and short lived (dried).
Marigolds don't emit a pleasant odor. Imo. Basil does.
I wonder if mices are also expelled by catnip?
jailbirdx0x as weird as it may sound...try placing/stuffing dryer sheets around the areas where you see mice poop trails or mice themselves. (the cheap variety works very well too. I use them when overwintering cars and in the vegetable garden throughout the growing season against squirrels and chipmunks ).
Using the word "tea" makes me think you can drink it, but I don't think that is what you meant.
