No, garlic is not an effective treatment for tape worms. You will need to get medications from your veterinarian to get rid of tape worms, as the medications available in farm supply and department stores in the United States are also not effective against tape worms.
In addition, garlic may have severe side effects for your cat, including anemia (too few red blood cells that carry oxygen) and gastrointestinal problems (such as vomiting, diarrhea, etc.).
When in doubt, see your vet.
