Pollinators
Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the Unit-
ed States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various
fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure
to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating
and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely
on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths,
flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators.
Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples,
squash and almonds. Animals and insects help pollinate more
than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75
percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Ser-
vice. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of
natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help
protect the habitats of pollinators.

· Lavender: Lavender is a fragrant plant that adds a pop
of purple and has been known to repel mosquitoes, fleas,
flies, and moths.
· Basil: Basil can provide the best of both worlds, as it’s
been found to repel flies and moths and also makes for a
tasty addition to pasta sauces and other dishes.
· Thyme: Also a valuable ingredient to keep in the kitch-
en, thyme can help keep hungry mosquitoes at bay.
· Mint: The Farmer’s Almanac warns that it’s easy to
overplant mint, so homeowners should only plant with
care and make a concerted effort to prevent overgrowth.
Also great in the kitchen, mint has long been considered
an effective mosquito repellant.
· Alliums: Like lavender, alliums can add a burst of
purple to your patio. And though they aren’t believed to
repel mosquitoes, alliums have been found to be helpful
against cabbage worms, aphids, carrot flies, and slugs.
· Chrysanthemums: If ants are drawing homeowners’
ire, chrysanthemums may do the trick. These eye-catch-
ing flowers also are believed to repel fleas and roaches,
among other insects.
· Marigolds: The scent of this awe-inspiring plant is
known to repel mosquitoes and other pests. Marigolds
also attract insects like ladybugs that are known to con-
sume aphids, which are minute bugs that reproduce rap-
idly and feed by sucking sap from plants.
