You asked for ideas to help with the mosquitoes. Here’s what we do. If you have a vegetable garden or you’re planning on growing one add sage and basil. They will keep mosquitoes out of the garden and mosquitoes wont lay eggs in standing water surrounded by those herbs. In your garden you can plant lavender and citronella geraniums. Those have a heavy smell and will repel mosquitos out of your yard. Finally to keep them out of your house keep mint in flower pots around the windows and hanging by the front door. You’ll never have a problem with them inside and they’re great for cooking and teas too.

Plant the herbs in your flower beds as well! They also look nice! And no rule says that vegetables, herbs, and flowers HAVE to be planted separately.
Hi Pavlo and Luba. My name is Ken. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and am originally from a small town in Manitoba called Dauphin. It's the home of Canada's National Ukrainian Festival that takes place in early August each summer. My grandparents from both sides of my family immigrated to Canada from Ukraine in the early 1900s. My parents have kept up many traditions that have been passed down from their parents. They are both fluent in the Ukrainian language. Today we will be celebrating Ukrainian Easter according to the Julian calendar. We will be having our baskets of food blessed at church this morning and will be enjoying the "feast" when we get home. I discovered yoiur KZread channel a few months ago and check in regularly to watch. When you go to your summer home that you're doing all the good work on, it reminds me of the homes of my great aunt and uncles that were farmers in rural Manitoba several decades ago. Your videos are great and give me a sense of what rural Ukraine is like and how my ancestors lived back in Ukraine and how they brought that same life and hard work ethic to rural Canada. I'd love to hear back from you if you have time to reply to me! You guys are a great couple...we pray for you and Ukraine!
It's looking great, you guys. I'm looking forward to seeing all the flowers. This is Luba's childhood home, if I remember correctly. It makes me smile. Respect and love from the US.
You’re both very fortunate to have this place!!!
Build some bat houses (similar to bird houses) to help control the mosquitoes

chickens eat mosquitoes too
Build your out house down wind so you wont smell it in the yard or house. Keep it away from the water well( 45 meters) and the pond at the neighbors. You could have a waterline from the well pump and a sink and soap to wash hands on the outside of the building. I'm sure Luba would be happy with that.
You two worked so hard last year and are off to a great start this year. The house is looking nice and welcoming. It will be nice to see the raised bed garden you build and plant in.
Loving it. When you pot the plants gently loosen the soil it comes in a little to help root spread before potting in bigger pot I find helps (:
You've come a long way from what it was before, folks. It's always much hard work, and can take years to complete, but is worth it. When it's all done and looking back --- did we do all that. Also, honoring the past has a ring to it. May you and Ukraine the great prosper always. Moja Domovina.
THIS is what it should be in all Ukraine. Good luck to you 👍👏
I love the new brown color on the windows & front door. The cut grass looks really good. The flower bed will be beautiful, when it all blooms. I love the improvements you have done, so far.
Nice transformation. As for the outhouse, if possible I would put it in location where you can have privacy and a view without having to close the door. The pit should be 2 meters deep if possible. Flies will follow the light. If you put a 3 or 4 inch tube from the pit to the sky they will escape. Put ashes from the fire place in the pit to kill the smell.
Many commenters have no clue about rural life!. A toilet requires expensive plumbing and a disposal field. In Canada at a summer/fall camp we used an outhouse . This is a building like Pavlo showed that has rotted & fallen down. A six foot deep contained hole with a small water proof building on top of it. Lime aids in the decomposing process and odor control. Wise not to put outhouse near your well or the lake. When I did timber cruising we used to smear lard infused with Citronella oil on our hard hats to repel mosquitoes. Very messy but effective. Most stores sell the coils like you showed beside Luba that also burn and emit Citronella. Some come on top of a sharpened stick for placing in your yard as needed. So nice to see the old rundown pace coming to life again from your hard work.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤩🏆😎
Nice homestead. Wishing you all a great weekend.
Beautiful yard as project for improvement.. both landscape and hardscape project..
In the fall you can dig up the peony bulbs and split them up to start my peony plants.
Put up bat houses in the trees around your property. They will eat tons of mosquitoes

The mosquito repellent you are burning is called Citronella i believe.
You both have done a wonderful job on this house! What a blessing it is for you! Especially when the world economy is hard and young people have trouble affording a house. I'm very impressed!
I just love the colors you chose for the door.
A beautiful house becoming a home. Congratulations.
Hi fellows nice to see you at your old place Waseem tahir Nottingham uk 🇬🇧
Great job. Love the tree bench. Peonys are my favorite. Feel sorry you have mosquitos. KZread has lots of channels providing tips for mosquitos and perhaps outhouses. Good luck!!
❤❤❤МОЛОДЦІ ВІТАЮ ПОВАГА ВАМ ДОБРА ЗДОРОВЯ ПРОЦВІТАННЯ ПЕРЕМОГИ!!!
Good luck for the future,
I love the abandoned house, you two have really done a lot of great things to bring it back to life, great job to the both of you 😎😎
GOT A CHAIN SAW ? PAVLO LOTTA WORK LETS GO
It looks good. You have made it nice.
The flowers accentuate the trim on the house 😎👍
You need to release some fish that eat mosquito larva into the pond. Just some minnows would be fine.

I was going to suggest the same. Not sure about the environmental regulations “if any” in Ukraine re invasive species or unauthorized introductions but some mosquito eating fish would definitely help. Perhaps something like Perch or Sunfish in N America could provide food for the table as well?
Place looking amazing. Happy planting 🇨🇦
I enjoy watching your videos of your country home. It's a very nice and peaceful place. You both are so smart, hardworking, and talented. Praying for peace in Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Looks like a Quality built house. Lovely. I would like to buy a house in the Polish countryside.
The color choices were much better than I expected. It is a very pretty house.
I love your video style and choice of music! Citronella candles are good against mosquitoes.😃
Hi guys, loved your video. The house looks really beautiful, love the colors you chose for the trim. Good idea in planting flowers. Nice to do some landscaping. You guys really worked hard on this house project. Looks very comfortable inside. Glad you guys are doing ok. Take care. 😊❤🇺🇦🌻
The Place Looks Super !!!!! Glad To See You Are Well !!!!! Glory Ukraine !!!! Glory Hero's !!!!!
If you have Impatiens flower plants in your country, they love the shade and hostas
That was two days of work ! Well done!
Is coming together 👍
Mosquito removal is quite simple - no ponds or pools anywhere near the house. - plant citronella and or rosemary around the outside walls of the house. (Look pretty and low maintenance) - make & put hangon bug screens on your bedroom and living area windows.(can take them down n store them in the winter months. - never leave any upturned buckets or anything that can collect water for the bugs to move into. - stick up some bird boxes to encourage bug- eating birds in keep the bugs down. - use plenty of bug dope if you're outside. - if you sit out in the evenings or early Morning use a mosquito spiral !!! If you use a bug zapper stick it way clear of the building - they are magnets for the bugs! To keep the flies at bay - rince your food packaging after use - ideally, if it's only a weekend place take all your food waste home. We do this and as best as possible we keep the bugs at bay at our cottage.
Nice home for the summer. You and Luba have alot of projects. What type of wild animals live in the area very many snakes.
Hello from Texas. No war damage in your area? Glad you two are ok!
Hello from Montreal, Canada. If you want to arrange your flowerbeds or the entry doors with insect-repellent plants, here are some plants: Lemon-scented plants/Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass), Thymus citriodorus (lemon thyme), Lippia citriodira (lemon verbena), Pelargonium, Peppermint, Lemon eucalyptus, Calendula flowers, Lavender, Lemon basil. Good luck!
Glad to see the progress on the little house. Very nice!
Good Day !
Thanks for the update! 😊
The house looks good, flowers, no more tall grass .. i like it 💪
Pavlo is luckiest man in all of Ukraine to have the prettiest girl in all of Ukraine.

You guys have done such a nice job fixing things up. That outhouse project won't be fun, but if anyones up to the task it's you Pavlo. Seems like your weather is very nice. Hope that helps in getting packages faster to you, including mine..LOL SLAVA UKRAINE!
The colors of the house look great 👍Looks like such a lovey and relaxing place 🇺🇸❤ 🇺🇦
Христос Васкресе ! Wising you all the best Pavlo and family! Love to mamuska I babuska I your teta!❤️
Your house is looking lovelier all the time! I look forward to seeing the next developments. 💛💙
The house and grounds are looking terriffic. All your hard work has paid off very well.😊😊👍👍
Thank you very much for sharing your life with us.
It’s great that all is good for you both and peaceful and the war and draft is not somehow affecting you both 👍
Wish I had your energy. Great work!
I would hire someone to till a huge garden and get rid of the grass mostly! Add a side building to the house for a bathroom!
Lavander, rosemary, chrysanthemum,,, Against mosquitos
Hi Pavlo and Luba, wow, it's really looking lovely!! Your hard work has really paid off. The outbuilding has so many possibilities as an artist's studio, pottery studio, workshop, etc. or even convert it into extra living space. Glad to see you both looking so well, greeting from your friend in South Africa.
I absolutely love that house. That would be so much fun to do over.
The house and yard looks so beautiful!!! All your hard work is paying off
Done connecting Host..Greetings from UK and Philippines ❤

Nice one guys. Luba is dressed like she's going to the Disco and she is digging the garden! Hope you're proud of yourself Pavlo! Kidding, love you both, take care and Slava Ukraine! 😄😄👍👍
Mosquitoes: I am unsure if these are available for you in Ukraine, but Theramcell Patio Shield is fantastic. I take it tent camping and it keeps a full area of about 6m free of the biters. Pricey but extremely effective 👍.
Wow you’re doing a nice job! You’re house is going to be the nicest on the. Block
Ever heard of The Humanure Handbook by Joe Jenkins? It's a simple way to have a sanitary toilet with no digging. It's cleaner even than a flush toilet, but you have to follow the method correctly.
i love that village catharopes
Beautiful house...better to show inside also!
surely Jack would love this place
Tiki torches with citronella spread out through the yard will help keep the mosquitoes away. The citronella candles will work much better around your sitting areas cause the tiki torches have the citronella oil so it’ll burn longer and have a much stronger aroma to keep mosquitoes away. There’s some environmental friendly products that you spray along the edge of the pond that will eliminate mosquitoes. These are a few ideas y’all might want to consider for your mosquitoes problem. Take care my friends and great videos.
The house and garden are fabulous.. You've done a wonderful job bringing it back to life..
Praying for peace and end to wars in this world.
rent a mini digger, maybe someone in the village has one. dig a trench out into the forest to a big hole fill it with gravel and rocks, back fill it.plumb a toilet in the house connected to the pipe to the forest. as you dont use the house frequently you wont have to worry about the sewage in the forest, it will dissolve and feed the trees. you could install a large water tank in the attic or on the roof, box it in with insulating material for the winter. use the pump from the well to feed into the tank for the toilet cistern and a wash hand basin. this is the sort of thing you need to do to make it a home. an outside toilet just isnt hygeinic or convenient inmo...the aforementioned wont even cost $1000...i just bought a great pump at Epicentre for less than 1000 uah, its very powerful, how long it will last i dont know yet, its the Powercraft VBU 350. i use it to pump up 15 metres and the horizontal 50 metres to water the greenhouse, seems to be ok for now...
The house looks beautiful!!!!
Nice job!! Beautiful home!
Another awesome vid! Stay safe!
Such a beautiful property
Nice place😮
Tuba is a good decorator for the house very good

Be careful with the poison ivy next to the outhouse!

Looks lovely guys and you both look so well. Love to you both from the UK.
Good job, but as for the outhouse, build a new one. Looks like the wood is rotted. You should build one with 2 toilet seats 👍 you can go together lol
reminds me of the old house the family use to live that was built in the 1920s. The wooden floors.
Looking good Pavlo
u really should make videos renovating the property, i would love to watch it!
Wonderful video, God bless you and your family.
I would put the toilet somewhere where it is easy to walk to in the winter if you ever decide to live there all year around, or if you sell it to someone who does. And the house and yard look great, what a difference from when you started last year! Good job!
It’s looking great. So weird looking at these “normal” videos from a country that is at war Glad ye are ok. Love watching. From Ireland 🇮🇪
Consider putting the toilet downhill from your source of water.
Hello you two ! you were very busy there. The house is great, the property is huge. I'm happy for you, you can always do something there if you feel like it and have the time. Stay healthy and safe. Greetings from Germany.🙋♂🙋
You're young and healthy. Do it while you can. It looks awesome, y'all have worked hard.
And by the way, you guys have done a great job on the house. Looks great!
it's a beautiful place guy's your'e very lucky
