Notes

Use with care and only when there is a real problem with your plants.

The garlic spray, like other natural remedies, can kill or even discourage beneficial insects.

In spring and summer, our garden and plants are full of insects. Most of them, such as bees, ladybugs, spiders, wasps and several flies, are busy chasing other insects or feeding on flower nectar and are not a threat to plants.
