<human>:  How do I keep household pests away from my garden?
<bot>: To keep household pests away from your garden, you can use barriers such as screens or netting over the garden area. You can also create a natural repellent with a mixture of garlic, hot peppers, and onion. Planting certain types of plants around the garden border can also help repel pests, such as marigolds, chrysanthemums, and lavender. Finally, regular monitoring of the garden area can help to identify any pests that may have arrived and then take steps to remove them.
