There are a number out there... safer makes pest out. It has garlic in it. Some people acutally recommend planting garlic side-by-side to repel. Hogwash is my vote.

If you have mites (or any of the nasties), they will look at stuff like that, snort some up & then spit it back at you, all the time smiling & chuckling with his friends. Even neem is borderline in my opinion.

Depending upon what you are worried about, Tanglefoot is a sticky gel you can get at local nursery to act as protective barrier. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is also a good contact barrier. Garlic, pepper, etc, don't waste the effort. Best.

I've had good luck with garlic myself, but then I make it myself, so maybe mine is a bit stronger than yer used to, De is also good for creepy crawlers and sliverers.
