So Im flicking through tv and get entranced by an infomercial called pest free property, where the salesman states that if you add a piece of garlic clove in your soil, you'll never see a bug in your plant. Hmmmm

I have heard of garlic being a natural pesticide, I just doubt that one clone will be enough to stop all bugs from coming onto a plant

Also, if you travel to places where getting the shits is common, increase the garlic in your diet or start taking garlic pills. The bugs that get into your gut and gives you the squirts also don't like garlic. That is a little tip I learned from some military friends and those who visit Mexico a lot.

^ this. Neem oil takes care of just about every kind of pest that you'll encounter and is totally organic so it won't hurt your babies. It's kinda hard to find if you don't order it online. Get some in case you have bug problems!
