RSM hates flies as much as the next gal, and a slew of mosquito bites is not her idea of a good time. But if you hate the thought of dangerous expensive (smelly) pesticides and sprays, look no further! There are plants who naturally will repel flies, mosquitos, and other pests!

(Note: The Mexican mint plant is also apparently called the Vicks plant, or Vapor Rub plant.)
