Several plants have a reputation for repelling mosquitoes with their natural fragrances, including citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus; C. winterianus), and catnip (Nepeta cataria). The oils in the leaves help to repel the critters, so plant these herbs around the deck and crush a few of the leaves while you enjoy your outdoor living space.
