If you find some let me know lol
Not much works and is allowed in canada.
Imidachloprid based pesticides work great for them (i thibk I'm remembering the right one).
But not at all natural.

Peppermint oil or garlic to repell them?

Plant nasturtiums around your plants. They attract a wasp that preys on svbs. Marigolds and lavender deter svbs because of their scent.
