My daughter swells up so badly when she gets bitten! I’ll have to keep these tips in mind!

In reply to Michele. Thanks for the advice! It is always a good idea to know what plants might be dangerous to pets and children since unlike most adults, they don't hesitate to eat things outside!

In reply to Tammy Graham @ LoveMy2Dogs. Just do your research. Some herbs are poisonous to animals. Real citronella is hard to come by. You can try Citronella Geranium. Lemongrass grows slowly until it hits the 90's.

I bought a couple of citronella plants this year for our porch and those have to be the most homely looking plants when they get bigger. They are definitely something that you will need to plant in with something else because they are not a plant that I thinks looks good alone. They do set of a nice scent though if you just go over and touch them a little. I think next year I will either plant them in a container with something else or just try other plants all together.

I’d never heard of plants repelling bugs…I need these (not for me, mosquitoes hate me but they love my husband and youngest son)!

A most excellent idea especially in the thick of summer like we are right now!
