Hi All,
I read somewhere that squash bugs hated the smell of onions. So I planted a green onions in each of my Zucchini plots. And I also make a witch's brew of onion and poured it over my zucchini plants.
Results: still had squash bugs.
Dang!

fortunately i haven't had to battle insects on my veggies. i get some white moths but the damage has always been minimal.
i had been battling scarlet beetles last couple years. left alone they will absolutely decimate lilly foliage. this year i dusted the lilly patch with diatomaceous earth when they first appeared and haven't seen any beetles or new damage to the plants since.
Marigolds are what you were looking for.
