FAQ
Q: Is garlic spray safe for all plants?
A: Yes, but it’s best to test on a small leaf area first, especially with tender or sensitive plants.

A: Garlic mainly repels pests via smell and taste. Apply when pollinators are less active (early morning or dusk) to minimize impact.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Some pests may disappear within a day or two, while others might take a week of consistent spraying.
Q: Can I use this indoors on houseplants?
A: Absolutely! Just ensure good ventilation and avoid over-application to prevent a lingering garlic odor indoors.
