2. Plant Mosquito-Repellent Plants: Grow plants like citronella, lavender, and marigolds that repel mosquitoes.
3. Biological Control: Introduce mosquito-eating fish or beneficial insects like dragonflies.
4. Essential Oils: Use essential oils like eucalyptus or tea tree oil in sprays.
5. Natural Repellents: Apply natural repellents like neem oil or garlic spray.
Tips:
