Mums are a great potted plant as well to place all around an outdoor deck - pretty too look at and have a very practical application for those skeeters.
I guess I should've been a little more specific. The fact that this stuff lasts through 70 washes (and dries ) is a little scarey.. who knows what kind of long term residual effects this can have on our snakes.
