Dissolve dish soap in water.

Add the garlic to the soapy water and stir well.

Use immediately:

Spray on plants to repel pests.

Pour into drains to reduce odor.

Precautions

Avoid using too much dish soap on delicate plants—it can burn leaves.

Do not ingest this mixture.

Store only for short periods; fresh garlic loses potency over time.
