Default Mosquito repellent plant?

Ah yes, plants will eventually take over the world.
Put them in pots....

Tansy will probably do the trick too
Tansy is one of those wild herbs that grows like crazy. Don't plant it in
the ground, it will take over


i was going to plant my little tansy seedlings all around the hen house, to
see if it helps with all the #!%&~! flies.

tbh i could think of worse things than it taking over - for example, the
flies taking over ;-)

(oh no! what if the tansy takes over, but it doesn't help at all with
keeping the flies away? ;-)
