Title: Neem fertilizer and pesticide
Post by: earlypea on October 14, 2009, 08:41:50
Hi
I was wondering if anyone had come across this before or knew more about it.  

I know about neem oil, but this would be used in the soil and I've a major ant problem red and black in so many places for some reason which I can't get rid off and the blacks are nurturing the black fly for next year's decimation.

It says it affects 'white ants', whatever they are - in this post (AKA sales pitch) along with so many other pests.

....so I'm wondering if it's worth trying?  Maybe, it's too good to be true?
You can get it here, but it's pricey.

I've heard of neem oil in respect of head lice so it should be effective against pests.
