Adding a trap plant into a tent, like a nasturtium. Generally used as an aphid trapper in a garden. l Haven't heard of anyone doing this.

Should be cool, share pics. I let certain spiders hangout around my pots because they trap and kill gnats and any potential thrips. I just caught a wolf spider in my pot last week and when I water the plant he/she runs around while I water to avoid it, It's my little homie at this point. Probably killing all the fungus gnats. haha

Got a friend that has predatory plants in his tent. Venus fly traps are just the tip of the iceberg. I think he has a separate tent growing them. All kinds… and adds them to canna tents when necessary

Also don't predatory plants create scents or substances to attract bugs? May be like putting out a fire with fuel

"Companion planting" 
I try to do it outdoors with herbs and veggies, like planting basil alongside tomatoes is my most common. Onions also keep pests away from I think carrots? I have it all written down somewhere, lol.
Never done it indoors though. Best of luck!

Why would you put a plant that attracts bugs in an indoor garden?

Gnats are too small to trigger most plants.

I wouldn't put anything into a tent that will attract any bugs. The advantage of a tent is that you can create a "sterile" environment. But you have to maintain that environment from the start. Aphids are usually more of an issue outdoors. If you're getting them in a tent, then you need to improve your cleanliness.
