Allium plants effectively repel numerous garden pests thanks to their potent scent. Members of the allium plant family, or Amaryllidaceae, include chives, leeks, garlic, onions, scallions, and shallots. Alliums repel caterpillars, borers, aphids, armyworms, spider mites, slugs, and whiteflies as well as deer and rodents.
Avoid growing members of the onion family close to legumes like beans and peas. These plant groups reportedly stunt each other's growth.
