Neem Oil

I have been told that Neem Oil is good for pest control.

I have bought some Neem Oil but there are no instructions about use.

Can anyone tell me, do I dilute it or use it straight from the bottle?

    There is a video on tube from Gary Pilarchik on Neem oil, how to use and when to use it. 

    Where red did you get it from; I've been looking for it.

    Picked this up from the internet:

    Question:
    whats the dosage per litre of water and do you add anything else for killing aphids
    Answer:
    Try this:
    1 1/2 teaspoon neem oil
    1 teaspoon mild liquid soap
    1 liter tepid water

    I mixed this up and it got rid of my mealybug infestation very quickly. Apparently it will deal with an aphid problem or spider mites just as well.


    I'd never heard of neem oil before, it does sound too good to be true. Believe it's got a pungent smell. 

    As it's organic, I might give it a go.

    It's ok @Jenny_Aster - these people have a habit of resurrecting ancient threads to advertise their companies. Garry kept protesting his innocence every time but no one believed him - strangely enough  :D
