Does anyone know of any plants that naturally repel mosquitos?
And is there any way to keep fleas out of my grass this summer.
I have a neighbor who hangs his dogs blanket on our fence and they all jump off into the grass and get all over my dog. Last year I tries to spray the fence but he put it where I could not reach it :(

Nice neighbor! Sheesh…
There are some citronella-style/scented plants that actually have a mosquito-repellent effect. There is one geranium variety that does this.
As for what to do about the fleas, I’m not sure…

Cinnamon oil kills mosquitoes. Dr. Broners Peppermint soap as a spray deters lots of insects, so does neem oil and a sprinkling of DE (Food grade Diatomateous Earth) will kill bugs in the soil. Fed your dog a small amount of fresh garlic regularly so that the fleas won’t bother your dog. Fleas don’t like hosts that have garlic in their systems. My dog is 20 years old and has never had a flea as I feed her about 1/8 of a chopped clove of garlic daily.

LG:
Have you tried talking to your neighbour?
Maybe give them a piece offering of flea soap or the like.
If that doesn’t work, then make up little beefburgers with 1/8 clove of garlic in them and toss them over the fence.
-just kidding!
