The first one that I can think of is the wonderfully insectivorous Venus Fly Trap.

Hi there Sweetcakes, Basil has a strong (wonderful) smell I have a long planter outside with herbs and use the fresh Basil in almost everything x See: http://www.sgaonline.org.au/info_pestrepellentplants.html "The general insect repellent properties of basil make it an excellent plant to grow throughout the vegetable garden. Basil especially protects cabbages, beans, and tomatoes. It even protects cucurbits from downy mildew. Grow basil in pots near doorways to deter flies."

Plant a Rafflesia Arnoldii indoor, and all the flies will go there instead ;)
-
Flies hate basil and mint plants. Grow them inside in pots and outside near windows and doors. They also despise the smell of vinegar.

i dont know bout any plants but there are outdoors insect sticks you can buy to keep them away.

Mint and Lavender are said to be a good deterrant
