I'm growing garlic for the first time. My mistake. I won't do it
again and am considering composting what's in the beds now. The garlic
is inhospitable to everything that I'd normally be planting now for the
long warm season. Even the brandywines are cringing from the damned
garlic while they thrive amidst onions. I'd rather have the tomatoes or
more "southern" peas and baby lima beans, or just about anything else,
than the garlic; grocery store garlic is fine with me.... My question
is: How long does the noxiousness remain after the garlic is removed?

Milliseconds. In fact; I grow a lot of garlic every year and have never
seen the problems you describe.
But hey, if store garlic is "good enough," so be it. For many of us, as
well as my increasing number of relatives, it isn't.
The phrasing of the OP makes me curious. Very curious.

He also doesn't like flowers or bees.

Love me some home grown garlic. I've never noticed an odor and
actually, isn't garlic a fairly good companion plant? I grow it around
the rose bush as well as in the garden.
