Let me sing it's praises! I've used this exclusively for insects. Even for aphids and black aphids. I tried this because I couldn't find neem oil. anyone else use it?

I use it all the time for cleaning wood furniture but I've never used it for insect control.

Thanks for the tip.

I just add a cap full- maybe 1 tbsp-ish to a spray bottle that's maybe 24 oz. in size. I fill the rest with warm water and just spray it on. I always apply after a rain, too.

What's special about it? I don't have any and just used Dr. Bronner's as a substitute. I am guessing that won't have the same effect though........

Honestly, I don't know. It was just a whim that I decided to try it. I am also going to try Dr.Bronners.

PS- I also use Murphys to bathe my dog.
