Default Safe Pest Control without Pesticides

Neem oil this is from the pressed seed of the neem tree.

Insects would rather die than eat plants treated with neem oil.

Extracts from neem have shown great success with not only battling fungus problems but also many forms of root rot.

A few tips for using this are as follows

1.Don’t mix any more than you need.

2.Add water and a little soap before you spray.

3.Spray the complete plant including the potting media.

4.Mix 1 oz in 1 gallon of water.

Thanks for that info luv2flip!! I hate pesticides of any kind. I can't be around it. so it is good to find something that is not harmful to me or my plants.

I will have to find some of that and try it. The bugs here love my plants..LOL
