Marigold, flowers help prevent insects including mosquitoes.

Marigold Flowers. Thanks. I have a lot planted around my house. I’ll clip the flowers off and place them in the coop.

I would suggest citronella plants, but they're poisonous to birds, & people if consumed.

Lavender repel mosquitoes. I always brush up against the plant when outside and I allow the chickens to also. I live across from a marsh.
Marigolds repel mosquitoes and people Not everyone is a fan of the smell of marigolds but they work beautifully!

I didn't know lavender helps repel mosquitoes too. Interesting.

Up in Wisconsin, if you don't buy the lavender when the greenhouses first get them, you are out of luck. All greenhouses run out within a week of getting lavender because it works so well to repel mosquitoes. A bonus is it comes in different colors (pinks and purples) and in a bush or tree!

I've only seen lavender as lavender in color.
I live in Michigan, & stuff at greenhouses don't last very long here too.
