Wool clothing attracts wool munching bugs, some insects the enjoy feasting on wool are moths, and carpet beetles.

Yellows Attract Gnats, and mosquitos, aphids, and blacks attract deerflies, and horse flies..

Reflective mulch is used to blind aphids from seeing a Strawberry so I assumed it would blind them from seeing us too.

There is even a new line of insect repelling clothes!

Not sure about plants ... but colors make a difference on homes. Some colors absorb particular wavelengths ... use the ones that get hot on window sills so flies won't rest on them.
