Are you going to grow tomatoes? there is something called "Companion
planting". I know that African marigolds attract whitefly, which can
infest tomatoes. If you plant the marigolds near the tomato plants,
the whitefly will prefer the marigolds and you can remove the those
and replace with fresh ones, thus getting rid of the pests.

You have that back to front. The French marigolds act as a natural
insect repellent.
