I’ve recently moved apartments and the architecture is such that lots of flies get trapped in a loop near my back sliding door. It’s sometimes dozens or more just spinning in a circle.
I was fortunate to get a unit with ample growing space and was hoping there’s some kind of flower or plant that flies will avoid before getting trapped in the doom spiral.
I can catch one of them in a safe bug net and take a picture if needed.
Thanks in advance
Marigolds do something, forget what tho
Marigolds should be very good at repelling unwanted pests, often used in allotment gardening between rows.
Iirc they also expressly attract beneficial insects too
But don’t put them near
or the 
suffers.
They are good against soil based pests.
Honestly same
