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.
WWYD? Try it? Has anyone seen these/ have experience with them?

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!

Thanks for the boost of confidence!

Sure I'd do it! We got a few in our backyard, as well as lavender!

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
Not sure about whether or not they work yet, we haven't spent much time outside

@snowjewelz: I desperately need some lavender.
@swurlygurl: Oooo how does that smell? I know, weird thing to ask, but I'm imagining it would be nice

@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

Hmmmm, I may have to look into this. Much cheaper than the $1.5k quote I just got to screen in the covered patio!

We made bug repellant pots like @swurlygurl: mentioned, and they have been really helpful! I think we got all the plants at Lowes.
