Yes, slugs like marigolds. A nearby planting of strong-scented chives, fennel, foxgloves, garlic, geraniums and mint, a sprinkling of coarse sawdust, Epsom salt, gravel and sand and the presence of copper protect marigolds from hungry slugs. Plantings of basil, beans, cabbage, coleus, dahlias, delphiniums, gentians, hostas, lettuce, lilies, mustards, primroses, strawberries and turnips, as additional favorite food and host plants for slugs, will aggravate any challenges to marigold survival in a slug-populated garden.

French and African marigolds are often cited as the most powerful Tagetes species for repelling insects.

French marigolds (T. patula) and African marigolds (T. erecta) are also pretty additions to the garden. Organic gardeners say that marigolds keep the soil free of plant-damaging nematodes, and discourage many insects in the garden. They may, however, attract spider mites and slugs. They also discourage whiteflies from attacking tomatoes when planted in a companion planting. Marigolds also deter beetles.
