Stinky, my friend Custom39, literally bathed his plants with NEEM Oil, daily, was dripping from the leaves ... it barely dealt with the spidermites, but did not hurt the plant ... if I understood him correctly, he said the NEEM Oil basically just smothers the insects and eggs, doesn't kill them from toxicity, but from suffocation :wtf: ... I don't know if that's true, or not, but it didn't seem to hurt the plants ... I would have thought that would clog the pores and harm the plant ... your guess is good as mine, I dont allow bugs in my house (they refuse to wipe their feet) ... :jointsmile:
