Today i have some extra time so i decided to compile all the useful plants you could keep around cannabis in order to keep pests at bay. I guess this will be more useful to outdoor growers, but cant hurt to keep some in the pot inside So below ill put the names of the plants, and pests that repel, also ill try focus more on plants that are common and easy to obtain. Hope this helps because prevention is better than cure
So lets go:
GARLIC: Repels almost all, especially root maggot, rabbits
CORIANDER: Repels aphids and spider mites
CHAMOMILE: Repels most of the flying insects
CLOVERS: Repels aphids and wireworms
THYME: Repels whiteflies
PEPPERMINT: Repels aphids and whiteflies
ROSEMARY: Repels slugs and snails
PETUNIAS: Repels aphids and leafhoppers
OREGANO: Repels most insects
NARCISSUS: Repels moles
FENNEL: Repels slugs, snails and aphids
DAHLIAS: Repels nematodes
CITROSA: Repels most insects including mosquitoes
CROWN IMPERIAL: Repels most vermin such as mice, squirrels, moles, rabbits...
CATNIP: Repels ants and aphids
SPEARMINT: Repels ants, aphids, rodents
LAVENDER: Repels most flying insects including mosquitoes
CHRYSANTHEMUMS: Repels root knot nematodes and ants
FRENCH MARIGOLD: Repels whiteflies and kills nematodes
TANSY: Repels ants, cutworms and flies
Annnnddd if you wanna go exotic you could always get Miss Venus Flytrap to eat all of those
Hope this was helpful, i will also be adding more if requested, you name the pest ill name the plant, so lets play a game
