never tried it, but heard you could use things like, garlic, onion and cayenne pepper, mixed with some water and dish soap, spray on plants.

Plant them in large pots and hanging baskets rather then on the ground.

Cayenne pepper dissolved in water, use a spray bottle. Marigolds planted nearby help, too.
