Carnivorous and strong-smelling plants are the vegetation which keep away bugs. Carnivorous plants have traps in order to consume nitrogen-rich bugs in marshy, swampy eco-systems whose soils are deficient in nitrogen. Strong-smelling plants such as citronella, marigolds, and mints tend to repel bugs who do not want to compromise colony locations and security with traceably pungent odors.

The Venus Fly Trap is one of the flowers that eat bugs. The bug lands on the mouth of the plant then the petals close down on the bug and the plant digests it. These plants can be found at your local nursery or Bunnings store (only if you live in Australia).
