Marigolds contain Pyrethrum, which is a compound used in many insect repellent products.
The trick is that you have to bruise the leaves to get the valuable essential oils out, whether by rubbing, crushing, or even burning them.
With its strong scent courtesy of eucalyptol, pests like cabbage moths, beetles, mosquitos, and snails are scared away.
The scented geranium is particularly effective at deterring mosquitos and flies.
Peppermint is incredibly invasive, but it can also be equally effective in keeping fleas, flies, and spiders away.
Rosemary and sage deter many of the same pests, so you might not necessarily need to grow both.
