What flowers can I plant to discourage flies from my garden?

Question

I am about to plant some window boxes and was wondering if there are any flowers or herbs that flies dislike and therefore would discourage from coming near the window boxes and therefore the house. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

Just limit the amount of c**p and dead animals in your window boxes.

Flies generally like rotting meat and feaces however they may go near flowers. in the old days, people used herbs like rosemary and sage to rid disease from the streets.. maybe flies arent too keen on that.

Answer 2

venus fly traps!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Marigolds usually r best
