garlic spray

Pungent garden pesticide

Garlic spray is a liquid solution made from garlic, used as a natural pest repellent in gardens.

The strong odor deters insects, deer, and rabbits from damaging plants: I use garlic spray on my tomatoes to keep the aphids away.

Some formulations are marketed for personal defense, similar to pepper spray but less potent.
