No. The touted mosquito repelling plants must have the oil from the crushed leaves rubbed on your skin to aid as a repellent.

Your best bet is to use a product containing DEET as a repellent or completely cover your skin with clothing.

Creeping lemon thyme has some of the oil that can aid as a repellent but there again, you'd have to rub the oil on your skin.
