I’ve stored garlic in olive oil for weeks at a time. It imbues it with the garlic flavor. Garlic is pretty deadly to microbes, by the way. It’s probably not good for small things like insects either, which might be why they don’t like it.

I think they can detect it in the pores, and avoid biting/stinging skin with those properties.

Long live garlic!
