Yes, sounds like a good idea.


Not sure if you want to repel any specific bugs, but generally...


- Basil drives away white flies and mosquitoes


- Mint drives away ants





If you don't have those, any strongly aromatic herbs e.g. Rosemary should work to some extent.





For Lavender... doesn't really work for me. But you can certainly try!
