This is our first summer with our new greenhouse. We've had lots of rain recently and expect to have more than our share of mosquitoes in general. We are used to having Mosquito Time in our yard. You know, that awesome time of day just after the sun sets? We know the mosquitoes love to be outside then, too.

But I've noticed mosquitoes really, really love being in the greenhouse all the time, 24/7. I need help if I am going to enjoy the greenhouse this summer. I have heard about using camphor tablets in water, growing Citronella or Lemongrass, a screen on the back of the box fan, citronella candles. Do any of those actually work?? I want to be able to enjoy the greenhouse this summer, not to mention it's where I get the repotting and planting seeds done. Help? Thank You!
