Perhaps the effect of auxiliary plants is not the same as that of store-bought products, but they work. If you're interested in ecological approaches to pest control in garden beds, take a look at the plants in this post.

Much has been said about marigolds. Summer residents plant them not only for the beauty of flower beds. Aphids and cabbage flies do not like the smell of these flowers very much.

Calendula occupies an important place in the arsenal of summer residents. Plant it between the main beds and crops. It is often planted between potatoes to scare away the Colorado potato beetle.

Geranium has a rather specific smell. That is why various pests fly as far as possible from it. By the way, mosquitoes and small midges are the first priority.

Petunia is not only famous for its beauty, but also repels cruciferous fleas well. Summer residents recommend planting it near legumes.
