insect repelling herbs


Question
I have read that there are several herbs that I can grow in the garden that will repel different insect pests.  I am looking for the best ones to plant to repel mosquitoes, and fleas.  I have heard catnip will do the trick for the mosquitoes, but I don't if it will work on fleas as well.

Answer
