Sure thing! Here are three different ways you can use garlic to keep pests away:

**Garlic Spray**: You can make a simple garlic spray by blending a few cloves of garlic with water, straining it, and then adding a bit of dish soap. Just spray it on your plants, and the strong smell will help keep pests like aphids and spider mites at bay.

**Garlic Powder**: Sprinkle some garlic powder around your garden or on the soil. It acts as a barrier, and the scent can deter many insects. Just make sure to reapply it after rain or watering to keep it effective.
