Sulfur-containing compounds are what is in garlic and what work as a pesticide.
Specifically, the plant in question (Allium sativum) contains the chemical compound alliin. Garlic's enzymes convert alliin into allicin, which produces the sulfur compounds ajoene, allyl sulfides, and vinyldithiins. These compounds function as antimicrobials against fungal and insect pests.
