Hi Chaos,

I've used garlic cloves & water in a spray bottle for my edible plants like herbs and beans etc and it seems to keep pests at bay. My Nan always throws soapy/washing up water on her roses, she's been doing this for years and it seems to work. Citrus peelings are good for stopping cats pooping in the garden, seemingly they don't like the smell! I'm sure if you google it you'll find lots of recipes for doing away with specific bugs. Is there something in-particular you want to get rid of?

Best of luck,
colmsmum.
