Do tomato plants repel mosquitos?

I have planted tomato plants outside my apartment door in a little space of dirt and I hardley have mosquitos outside, so it looks to me like they repel them...any ideas or coments or places i could look it up?

Do tomato plants repel mosquitos?
No, they don't. What probably happens is your plants are absorbing the rain water, you don't have puddles nearby and the mosquito have no place to lay their larvae.

Reply:I get eaten alive in the garden whether I'm near the tomato plants or not.





So I vote no.
Reply:I wish! I get eaten every time I go out to my garden! Just be happy that yours are sucking up all that water and using it give you tomatoes instead of bites!
