I have (and love) a collection of large potted plants on my covered patio. My problem is mosquitoes by the thousands breed in them. When I water the plants I seem to disturb them and they swarm the area. What can I do to prevent them from making my plants their home? I live in Walker, Louisiana!
Mosquitoes in potted plants
Check out fungus gnats.
Spraying with a neem oil dilution has worked for me. I also had success with a product called Mosquito Beater that claims to be “People and Pet Safe” when used as directed. I got the area repellent for my yard and potted plants.
