Ingredients: Garlic powder or crushed garlic cloves.

Application: Focus on high-traffic areas for rodents, such as near holes, cracks, and food storage areas. For more precision, you can place garlic in small mesh bags or pouches and hang them in specific areas.
Benefits: Garlic powder is easy to apply and acts as a natural repellent, making it an economical and safe solution for homes with young children or pets.
3. Garlic Pouches for Wardrobes
Why It Works: Garlic can be an effective solution for repelling moths and other pests that infest wardrobes. Its strong odor confuses and repels insects, keeping your clothes and fabrics safe from damage.
How to Use:
Ingredients: 3-4 garlic cloves, small cloth pouches or breathable fabric bags.
Preparation: Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly to release their oils. Place the crushed garlic inside small pouches or breathable fabric bags. Tie the pouches closed.
Application: Hang these garlic pouches in your wardrobe or place them in drawers, under your bed, or in other areas where pests might hide.
Benefits: Garlic pouches are a safe, non-toxic solution to preventing infestations in closets and wardrobes. They are easy to place, leave no mess, and act as a natural barrier against moths and other fabric-damaging pests.
4. Garlic Pieces for Lizard Entries
Why It Works: Lizards are known to dislike the strong scent of garlic. Placing garlic near possible entry points can prevent these cold-blooded creatures from entering your home in the first place.
How to Use:
Ingredients: Whole garlic cloves or crushed garlic.
Preparation: Take several whole garlic cloves or crush fresh garlic and place the pieces in key areas such as entryways, windows, or under doors.
Application: Simply place the garlic directly near the entrances where lizards may be entering. If you prefer, you can also hang small bunches of garlic on door frames or in windows.
Benefits: Garlic is a natural, chemical-free way to keep lizards at bay. Its scent is unpleasant to them, preventing them from entering the house without harming the environment or your home.
