    Neem oil and ladybug deaths

    They are not known to kill ladie bugs. Neem is meant as a repellent for hard bodied insects, and a killer for soft bodied insects like aphids. Any idea what went wrong?

    Neem oil and ladybug deaths

    Thanks for that link. I'm not a scientist but I can research. And that link supports my research. I can't find a link that says anything about neem killing beneficial bugs like lady bugs.

    Do you have a link you can provide that says neem kills lady bugs? I can't find anything on the web that supports that claim.

    Neem oil and ladybug deaths

    Neem + water I hope?   I used a Neem and Castile soap spray last year fairly regularly and had no issues, but I also dilute mine quite a bit. If you let the neem spray dry out first, then it shouldn't affect the ladybugs at all I would think. The neem spray I used was RTU (ready to use) so no...

    Neem oil and ladybug deaths

    I've never used either one but either your research was misleading or you had something else going on. A large number of lady bugs should not just suddenly die overnight. I wish I could help.  Thanks. That's why I'm reaching out. Hope someone can tell me a definitive cause.

    Neem oil and ladybug deaths

    I'm going to venture a guess and say the neem oil killed the lady bugs.....? That's my guess. But according to all my research the ladybugs should have been fine.

    Neem oil and ladybug deaths

    How long should I wait after applying a neem oil spray 0.9% neem before releasing lady bugs onto plants? I sprayed yesterday evening and allowed the leaves etc to dry for several hours. I then released 1500 ladybugs at 10 pm. This morning all of the lady bugs that stuck around were dead. Some...

    Need help with mites! :(

    Hi all, I have a serious mite infestation. Think they're spider mites based on the minute threads of webbing on and around plants. Tried dr earth oil based spray and it didn't work. Contains garlic oil, thyme oil, and a slew of other oils. Burned the leaves and mites still doing damage...
