Default Mosquito repellant plant?

Only if you have a potted plant!
You'd end up a pothead though. Not a good look!

The problem with carnivorous plants is they dont chase the mossies.
They just sit there.

It probably repels dropbears too.

There is some kind of tea-tree (Leptospermum) being sold as a mozzie
repellent, IIRC. And we've all forgotten about carnivorous plants!
