Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a handy plant to have around both for you and your garden. Its essential oil can be used to repel many problem insects -- such as mosquitoes, fleas and moths -- from humans, animals and even other plants. Lavender can act as a protector for other plants that lack natural abilities to ward off unwanted insects.
