hello herbalists! sorry to bother yall but I would like to ask for some recommendations for herbs and oils to repel mosquitos and moths. I had to swat one today in my kitchen and i did not feel good about hurting the guys. I live in Utah and wish to help repel them the best I can. there’s a local apocethary I plan to visit and wanted some recommendations to help infuse my grated door with and my screens.

I have heard a few things on how to prevent these pests from visiting your garden.
1- get rid of any standing water and keep good air flow
2- plant things like citronella grass, rosemary, lavender, or marigolds
3- I can't think of #3 😁
