how to use neem oil was created by m5eaygeoff

Posted 6 years 3 months ago #50352
I know that neem oil is used to kill insects, but I have not used it. Now I want to. On doing a search I find dozens of different neem oil products. The problem is that none of it is said to be for use as an insecticide, therefore there are no instructions on how to use, dilutions mainly. Would some kind person give me the dilutions,
thanks, Geoff.

In Germany it is sold as a Fluid for mixing as an insecticide. I've had little success using it.

Thanks, that is very expensive though, more to send it than the cost of the bottle,

I can buy it already diluted for horticultural uses in any garden center around.

I can get the compo product at most garden centers... I know you're not in Germany... I was hoping, if you could make any sense of the instructions you might get an idea how to Mix it with water... sorry, I wasn't very clear. :-)

No problem, I have not looked much so far. I found it on Amazon and the cost was high plus the postage so not worth it.

I picked up a pre-diluted ready to use product in a spray bottle (like Windex, etc) at a local nursery this spring for $10.

Edit: Found it on Amazon.
