Video: Natural Mosquito Control

Summer is upon us, and mosquitoes are part and parcel of warm weather just about everywhere. Of course, you can use DEET or other chemicals to ward off bites and the diseases that can be transmitted by them, but you could put together a garden as well that would repel the nasty critters. Nurse Amy Alton takes a turn in front of the camera this time to talk about some plants that you might consider for your garden that will repel mosquitoes. Preventing diseases like Malaria, Zika, Chikungunya, West Nile, and others is a great way for a homestead medic to avoid problems in good times or bad!
