I have wasps, bees, and mosquitoes all swarming my house. Does anyone know a natural way to repel these pests? I am hoping for plant suggestions but other natural remedies are good as well.

well there are some and there are some that eat insects lol like the pitcher plant hehehe.
well one way to stop mosquitoes is to prevent stagnant water, if it cannot be prevented, add a little salt because mosquitoes can only breed in clean water.
well that is why i hate flower pots near my house because bees will be attracted by it.

Yes, apparently, there is one. The Eucalyptus plant, from what I heard, can repel mosquitoes. It's a natural way to repel mosquitoes. I just do not know if it would work for wasps and bees. Hope I could be of help! Happy Mylotting! :)

Plant Citronella.It keeps mosquitoes away and you won't need to worry about them buzzing around. Planting Lemongrass also works/helps. As for the bees,all you can do is get the hive removed by Pest Control. As for the wasps,i have no idea whatsoever. But the Citronella will work wonders in relation to the mosquitoes.
