eco-neem is a registered organic insecticide for the control of a broad range of chewing and sucking insects including caterpillars, curl grubs, grasshoppers (wingless), aphids, mites, lawn army worm, citrus leaf miner, white fly and fungus gnats in soil. Overseas registration includes over 200 pest insects.
Made from extracts of the neem tree (Azadirachtin A & B) and mixed with other plant oils to enhance its stability and shelf-life.
eco-neem works in multiple ways with the two main actions being suppression of insect appetite (they starve to death) and restricting growth (unable to molt successfully). Plant damage stops as soon as the insect ingests eco-neem but insect death may take several days depending on their size and type.
Currently approved in Australia for use on ornamental plants only but overseas it is approved for use on edible plants with no withholding period eg in New Zealand, Europe, UK, Japan and USA.
eco-neem is safe for pets, birds, lizards and beneficial insects including bees. Avoid using around ponds as it can be harmful to some fish.
