Eco Neem
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 armyworm, citrus leafminer, whitefly, mealybugs and fungus gnats in soil. It will also control sooty mould. Overseas registration includes over 200 pest insects.
Made from extracts of the neem tree (Azadirachtin A and B) and mixed with other plant oils to enhance it’s 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 moult 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.
Eco Neem is safe for pets, birds, lizards and beneficial insects including bees. Avoid using around ponds and in aquaponics as it can be harmful to fish.
Eco Neem is approved for use on ornamental plants only. It currently does not have approval for use on edible plants in Australia, however it is approved for edible crops in most countries around the world.

Tips for Using Eco Neem
- Neem is broken down by ultraviolet light and will only remain active for a few hours in bright light.
- Apply late in the day and it will remain active throughout the night and for a few hours into the new day.
- Fog with a fine mist onto foliage but also under the leaves. If you have a heavy dew or rain, the residue under the leaves is less likely to wash away and it is also more sheltered from the sunlight leaving it active for longer.
- Eco Neem 3 mls / litre can be applied with Eco Oil 5 mls / litre to target a broader range of pests.
- Store your bottle of Eco Neem away from direct light.
- Re-apply after 7 days as there may be new insects which have hatched in the area.
