Lavander for sure . It repells mosquitoes.
Nothing repells flies except cleanliness around the house.
Termites need chemical treatment, and very quickly.
If ants, it is easy, and it is the dissolvant of their main life sustainer : Formol, in powder form.

Citronella plants and lots of marigolds help. But not against termites.

Pyrethrum will repel insects, as well as lavender. Dogs like to hang out under lavender bushes for that reason.
