The vast majority of bugs, at least the ones that are going to be crowding your grills, are naturally attracted to light sources, so this kind of outdoor lighting – while highly useful most of the time – can create a kind of beacon for them.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner left_padding_desktop=”10%” right_padding_desktop=”15%” right_padding_tablet=”10%” left_padding_phone=”5%” constrain_group_105=”yes” right_padding_phone=”5%” bottom_margin=”0″ bottom_margin_tablet=”0″ bottom_margin_phone=”0″ flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”5\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”12337″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Grow In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/item][item simple_slider_bg_image_position=”default” simple_slider_overlay_strength=”0.3″ simple_slider_bg_image_loading=”default” flickity_bg_image_loading=”default” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” flickity_item_link_type=”regular” id=”1769806573042-1″ tab_id=”1769806573043-3″ title=”Item”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bottom_padding=”3%” bottom_padding_phone=”5%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” class=”display-flex-section margin-bottom-0″][vc_column_inner left_padding_desktop=”10%” left_padding_phone=”5%” constrain_group_105=”yes” right_padding_phone=”5%” bottom_margin=”0″ bottom_margin_tablet=”0″ bottom_margin_phone=”20″ flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”7\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#000000″ font_size_desktop=”28″ font_size_tablet=”24″ font_size_phone=”22″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-28 margin-bottom-0″]Standing Water[\/nectar_responsive_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″ custom_height_tablet=”15″][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#000000″ font_size_desktop=”20″ font_size_tablet=”18″ font_size_phone=”16″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-20 margin-bottom-0″]Furthermore, if you\u2019ve got a garden with things like plant saucers or birdbaths – even puddles after it\u2019s been raining – this is also something that\u2019s going to attract nasty bugs like mosquitoes.

Like basil, lavender has a pretty strong aroma, and the flowers are highly effective in repelling mosquitoes and flies – even moths, to some extent (although moths aren’t really obtrusive in the way other bugs are while you’re cooking). Again, you can either plant pots of lavender around your patio, or you can even plant it directly in your garden if you have the space.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner right_padding_desktop=”13%” right_padding_tablet=”7%” left_padding_phone=”5%” right_padding_phone=”5%” bottom_margin=”0″ bottom_margin_tablet=”0″ bottom_margin_phone=”0″ flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”12438″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Grow In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” delay=”400″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/item][item simple_slider_bg_image_position=”default” simple_slider_overlay_strength=”0.3″ simple_slider_bg_image_loading=”default” flickity_bg_image_loading=”default” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” flickity_item_link_type=”regular” id=”1769806574909-10″ tab_id=”1769806574909-2″ title=”Item”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bottom_padding=”3%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” class=”display-flex-section margin-bottom-0″][vc_column_inner left_padding_desktop=”13%” right_padding_desktop=”12%” left_padding_tablet=”7%” right_padding_tablet=”5%” left_padding_phone=”5%” constrain_group_105=”yes” right_padding_phone=”5%” bottom_margin=”0″ bottom_margin_tablet=”0″ bottom_margin_phone=”20″ flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#72b13e” font_size_desktop=”60″ font_size_tablet=”40″ font_size_phone=”32″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-60 margin-bottom-0 weight-275″]03[\/nectar_responsive_text][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#000000″ font_size_desktop=”28″ font_size_tablet=”24″ font_size_phone=”22″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-28 margin-bottom-0 letter-spacing-1-4px uppercase”]Marigolds[\/nectar_responsive_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″ custom_height_tablet=”15″][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#000000″ font_size_desktop=”16″ font_size_tablet=”15″ font_size_phone=”13″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-16 margin-bottom-0″]Moving forward, marigolds are another pretty and cheerful flower in the way that lavender is, and they also repel a variety of different pests, from mosquitoes to aphids.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, they contain a compound that’s known as pyrethrum, which is actually something that’s used in the vast majority of insect repellents – including some of the ones we’re going to be discussing later on.

we\u2019ve got another option for a more natural repellent, essential oils – these are obviously fairly similar to plants, but they offer a more concentrated way of repelling bugs rather than just passively planting flowers around your garden.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re actually a bit more versatile than plants, too, since you can put them in diffusers or sprays – you can even put them on your skin (when properly diluted) to fend the mosquitoes away while you\u2019re trying to relax in the sun.<\/span>[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

mosquitoes in particular, but it generally works against all biting insects. Not everyone likes the smell because of how strong and menthol-like it is, but it’s this aroma that makes it so effective at masking the human odors that attract bugs in the first place.<\/p>\n

To apply it, you can either stick some eucalyptus oil in a diffuser or simply just mix it with water to create a spray for your patio.[\/nectar_responsive_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″ custom_height_tablet=”30″ custom_height_phone=”25″][image_with_animation image_url=”12424″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Grow In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” delay=”400″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=”none” title=”Lemongrass” id=”1769806575634-9″ tab_id=”1769806575634-2″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” class=”margin-bottom-0″][vc_column_inner top_padding_desktop=”5%” bottom_padding_desktop=”8%” left_padding_desktop=”8%” constrain_group_101=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”8%” left_padding_phone=”5%” constrain_group_105=”yes” right_padding_phone=”5%” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#f5ebff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#7f4fac” font_size_desktop=”60″ font_size_tablet=”40″ font_size_phone=”32″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-60 margin-bottom-0 weight-275″]02[\/nectar_responsive_text][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#000000″ font_size_desktop=”28″ font_size_tablet=”24″ font_size_phone=”22″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-28 margin-bottom-0 letter-spacing-1-4px”]Lemongrass[\/nectar_responsive_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″ custom_height_tablet=”15″][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#000000″ font_size_desktop=”20″ font_size_tablet=”18″ font_size_phone=”16″ font_line_height=”150%” text_direction=”default” class_name=”font-20 margin-bottom-0″]Next up is lemongrass<\/a>, containing the aforementioned citronella which we\u2019ve already established is excellent for deterring mosquitoes and other kinds of bugs.<\/p>\n

Like the other two essential oils, you can mix it with water if you want to create a kind of topical spray, but you can also place a few drops on cotton balls and place them around your
