Other effective plants to get rid of mosquitos include carnivorous plants such as the Venus Fly Trap, one of the most popular types.
InsectCop explained: “Venus Fly Traps grow to all different sizes, which allows them to trap a wide range of insects – including mosquitos.
“Insects as small as mosquitos don’t weigh enough to stimulate the trigger hairs of larger traps, but some Venus Fly Traps have developed ‘mini-traps’ that can sense even tiny bugs.”
They warned, however, that because “they naturally grow in tropical and subtropical environments, they will not thrive everywhere”.
