đ§ Garlic Power: The All-Natural Pest Repellent Hiding in Your Kitchen
You probably know garlic as a culinary powerhouseâgreat in pasta, perfect in marinades, and essential in nearly every savory dish. But what you might not know is that garlic is also one of the most effective natural pest repellents you already have sitting in your kitchen.
Thatâs right: this humble bulb packs a serious punchânot just in flavor, but also in its ability to deter garden pests, bugs, and even some fungi. If youâre tired of harsh chemicals, expensive sprays, or stubborn insects in your garden or home, itâs time to unlock the natural pest-fighting powers of garlic.
đ Why Garlic Works as a Pest Repellent
Garlic contains a compound called allicin, which is released when garlic is crushed or chopped. This sulfur-rich compound is what gives garlic its strong smellâand itâs also what bugs absolutely hate.
Garlic repels pests like:
Aphids
Spider mites
Whiteflies
Mosquitoes
Beetles
Slugs
Even some rodents and fungi
The potent smell disrupts the sensory receptors insects use to find food and mates, making garlic an effective natural deterrentâespecially in gardens.
đ§Ș Make Your Own Garlic Pest Spray
You can easily make a DIY garlic spray using ingredients you already have at home. Hereâs how:
đ§ Ingredients:
1 full head of garlic (about 10 cloves)
