You don't expect them to appear. I sure hope they don't. Growers bring them into their rooms on clothes,shoes and esspecially if you have pets or house plants.They just hitch a ride to your grow. Using the neem oil is a preventive measure.In the case of an infestation,It works then,too.You may not even see them under a metal halide lamp.But,when you move to the HPS then it's like life on the beach to those leaf sucking son's of bitches!
