Hello,

I live in a small low rise apartment block in a tropical climate. Its
an average of 28 degrees all year round.

I've been put in charge of the apartment garden which is fairly
substantial for this area- total of 5000 sq feet. I got the job after
I strenously objected to someone's proposal to cut down all the trees
and plants to get rid of the mosquito problem. Ya, got quite a lot of
mossies here.

I walked around the garden. We don't have pool or ponds or catchement
areas which collect water for them to breed - but they do pretty well
in the heavily planted areas.

What are some good plants to put into a tropical garden to deter
mosquitos? Would garlic, chilli or orchid plants work? Please advice.


Try lemon grass. i would have some more data points except mine died of
drowning twice.
