I’m using Neem oil preventatively on everything. Only on my balcony, nothing gets into the environment.

In what intervals do I need to spray? Does it get washed away with every rainfall? What about sun exposure?

More often in lower concentrations?

    I use neem oil for potato bugs mostly because I’ve literally watched them eat a tomatillo plant to stalks in under an hour. Everything else I’ve found bunch better solutions than neem honestly. For example, I found planting nasturtiums with my cucumbers actually completely got rid of my cucumber beetle problem since they repel them and attract predator insects.

    So yea I wouldn’t use neem unless you have some pretty nasty pests and don’t have other options
