The answer
If you want to control mosquitoes without DEET-containing insect repellents, consider planting herbs, such as catnip and beebalm, or citronella in your garden. Bats are natural predators for the blood-sucking insect, though you may feel squeamish having bats flitting around your yard. When outdoors, dress in light-colored clothing since hungry mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors.
