That hole actually just looks like a lens burn mark from maybe water or nutrient solution being left on it during lights on. The little brown things look like poop of some kind. Do you have any damage on the leaves that looks like this?
I use garlic and chilli powder with some vegetable oil when I first put them outdoors until the marigolds start growing (best bug defense on the planet IMO).
But if you google homemade pest spray for plants (there are plenty).I’m sure you can find one that meets your needs if you need some garlic I have a little

@Mateo, Is your favorite strain garlic breath.
I always have problems w garlic. My starter cloves always get lil pin worms on them. They grow nice plants, then there is no clove. Just a hollowed out shell of a clove full of worms under a lovely top. Been trying for 18 years…. Still no fresh pressed garlic bread or garlic pesto from my garden.

@noddykitty1 sorry to hear about your garlic.I’ve grown garlic since Moby Dick was a minnow,
. Before you try again mix some wood ashes in the bed you plan to use.I’ve never had the worm problem but I’ve had it with carrots:radishes pretty much any root crop.Since I started doing this worms have been suppressed.You may get some but nothing like you described.I cover the area I plan to use with about a 1/2” of ashes and some fertilizer till it in about 2weeks before I plant my garlic.Hopefully this will help you out.before I moved south I would grow a couple thousand pounds now only about 75 pounds.

Very interesting!! Thank you!!
Thanks Mateo! Was thinking more like a Tea, Spray?
@Internetmaster2u ,you’re very welcome.Growing up in a Sicilian family we did a lot of gardening.I absolutely hated as a kid/teenager.But as I got older I learned to love it.
I learned so much from my grandparents/father in those years.
The help with bugs and fertilizer was as vast as what we have today.But a lot of the old ways are ingrained in my head.
Before I lost my Dad I would 3-4 thousand pounds of garlic.If you ever went to a garlic festival in NYS you probably walked by or stopped at our tent.People would ask is that all you grow and I would reply garlic n ganga is all we grow 
We would laugh and they would leave with some garlic and probably a glass of wine.We make that every year.But we didn’t tap a barrel until it was at least 3 years old.Some of my best memories.
Happy growing.
Mateo
