Hey Composer......how do you apply the Neem oil? Water into soil or foliar? Or both??

I've had good luck getting rid of fungus gnats using mosquito dunks.

Use as directed on the neem oil bottle for foliar application. I think it's something like 1 tsp/gallon or something. We use warm water (75-80F) to mix it because it's thick stuff when cold. It smells like garlic. I almost want to dump some in my pasta sauce, but then I don't.

Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!:eek:

I can't even get that stuff near my nose.....it reeeeeeeeks, bad!!!!

When I used it, as directed on bottle, (I believe you are correct) it appeared to burn my ladies. They'd droop bad and get a little crispy.

When watering with the dunks it's fun to watch the larvae come "runnin" up top lookin for a place to hide!! To get the adults I put up sticky traps and I also hang one of those Hot Shot pest strips(these worked for thrips once also).

Asta la pasta;)
