Illinois Mosquitoes

You've tried sprays, lotions, foggers, and various other things to keep mosquitoes off of you this summer, but have you tried planting a very common flower in your yard to get rid of them?

Illinois mosquitoes are looking to feed on you this summer, but an inexpensive and easy to find item can work wonders at keeping them away from areas that you like to spend time. 80 percent of us already have this in our homes, but we throw it away instead of using for another purpose.

Sure, you can light the citronella candles, use a yard-fogger, and cover yourself in some DEET this summer to ward off Illinois' aggressive mosquitoes, or you can use something that's a lot more plentiful and a lot less expensive to get the job done. You probably already have this stuff at home.

Other than egg production, mosquitoes might be drawn to you way more than others for many different reasons.
