Eco-neem is safe to beneficial insects replacing the toxic residual sprays that are harmful to bees, ladybeetles and other good bugs in your garden. Eco-neem is a broad spectrum, botanically based insecticide made from a neem tree extract. Eco-neem is very different to other ‘crude’ neem oil based sprays because it is a pure extract stabilized in a vegetable oil based carrier making it very effective at low rates. Eco-neem controls sucking pests and chewing pests like caterpillars and grasshoppers and exhibits systemic qualities when drenched into the soil to control soil borne insects and borers.
