poached egg plant attracts hover flies.
Calundela planted in the greenhouse helps keep white fly away.
Garlic planted at the roots of roses helps keep green fly off them.
Mix carrots and onions together to confuse the carrot root fly. I.e plant one row of each.
There are numerous others but i just can't think at the moment.

A row of carrot after every two rows of Onions is supposed to confuse carrot fly & onion fly
