What flowers can I plant to discourage flies from my garden?

sj asked:


I am about to plant some window boxes and was wondering if there are any flowers or herbs that flies dislike and therefore would discourage from coming near the window boxes and therefore the house. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

      This might be caused by aphids. They are small soft-bodied insects that usually brown, green or red. Often clustered under leaves and flower buds, they suck plant juices from tender buds. Malathion or diazinon spray may help roses to survive these bugs.

      Flowers in the streets maybe flies generally like rosemary and sage to rid disease from the amount of crap and feaces however they may go near flowers in the streets.
      Flowers in your window boxes flies arent too keen on that.
