How can I get rid hundreds of mosquitoes than are using my pot plants as homes? ?

Question

When I would water my plants, hundreds of mosquitoes would fly out from the side of my pots. They probably like the moisture..

Well they don't harm my plants obviously, but they would bite me. Insect spray would kill my plants. Any suggestions as to get rid of them? Thanks.

Answer 1

citronella candles

Answer 2

First of all, I'm hoping you meant potted plants...try a citronella spray, or ask your local nursery for advice.

Answer 3

LOL, thanks for the giggle @ pot plants!  

Answer 4

Yes you do not want to spray your pot plants.

It is not good to smoke with pesticide on it..................

That  was what you meant wasn't it?

OKAY, depending on the size of the plant you can put a "no pest strip" in the pot and slip a garbage bag over the top.

Next morning the jpob is done.......
