There is a certain plant which a friend used to grow in her house in Orlando, Florida, which REPELS MOSQUITOES. It is said that mosquitoes stay away from the area where the plant is... any idea which plant that might be? where can I get it??! Need it urgently as there are too many mosquitoes and malaria problems where we live.
thanks so much in advance

Unless you're just back from a trip to Mars, you've no doubt seen the "citrosa" plant advertised in newspapers and magazines in the United States and Canada as "guaranteed to repel mosquitoes." The supplier claims the plant is a "unique genetic combination " of a scented geranium and citronella grass (which does produce the citronella oil used in mosquito-repelling candles and the like).

Garlic. They aren't present where it is growing. There is also a company/farm that sells a garlic juice solution to spray your deck and lawn with. It contains veg oil as well, so rain won't wash the effect away. Search for mosquito repellent + garlic and you should come across a few sites.
