I think we got all the plants at Lowes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1699181 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:23:51 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1699181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm, I may have to look into this. Much cheaper than the $1.5k quote I just got to screen in the covered patio! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1699161 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:20:23 +0000 Synchronicity 1699161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely try them for that price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1699152 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:19:20 +0000 swurlygurl 1699152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Good!! The catnip is a little peppery, I think, but not strong like the other 3 - so just don't stick your nose in it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1699141 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:17:29 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1699141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I desperately need some lavender.</p> <p>@swurlygurl: Oooo how does that smell? I know, weird thing to ask, but I'm imagining it would be nice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1698976 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:34:57 +0000 swurlygurl 1698976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it for that price too! MIL and I put together 'mosquito pots' and added: Citronella, catnip, lemongrass and mint. It ended up costing like $30/each</p> <p>Not sure about whether or not they work yet, we haven't spent much time outside </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1698968 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:33:33 +0000 snowjewelz 1698968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure I'd do it! We got a few in our backyard, as well as lavender! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1698876 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:09:10 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1698876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I think I'm going to do it. I'll let you know how it works out :) Thanks for the boost of confidence! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1698783 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:46:18 +0000 Alivoo01 1698783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard great things about Citronella plants. I even bought a few myself yesterday from Home Depot. I'm hoping they really do the trick! I'd go for it!! $15 for 6 plants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1698681 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:16:10 +0000 alohaorchid 1698681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At $15 I couldn't not try them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-these-for-your-house#post-1698653 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:06:43 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1698653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this come up in my email and I admit, I'm sorely tempted. I put a Bug Band on me and the kids before we go outside but we're all still covered in huge mosquito bites. I like that they're plants which means I can have the kids help me tend them and I can have then inside or out. </p> <p>WWYD? Try it? Has anyone seen these/ have experience with them? </p> [attach=3089/14/n74a77.400x600.image.jpg] [attach=3089/14/n74a79.400x600.image.jpg]
