Default Disgusting Potato Bugs and Dead Nettle
In article ,
says...
Has anyone had any luck getting rid of the rotten Colorado potato
beetle by planting Dead Nettle?

We've got lots of dead nettle (lamium) planted in our shade
gardens. But it's a perennial and will slowly spread over your
entire garden. A pretty plant with a long blooming period, but
it seems a shame to plant it every year and then rip it up.

I have no idea if it repels any insects - I've never seen any
reference that says it does.
