Basil

Not only is this a great pest control plant, but it's also great for cooking. If you are growing tomatoes in your garden, or you're just looking to cut down on bugs, plant some basil! Basil repels flies and mosquitoes and helps many common garden vegetables to grow bigger and tastier.

Chives

Beetles are one of the most unwanted pests around, and planting chives in your yard or garden can help keep them at bay.
