Eco Organic Garden eco-neem 250mL – Botanical Insecticide for Ornamentals & Lawns

Eco Organic Garden eco-neem Botanical Insecticide 250mL

Eco Organic Garden eco-neem is a concentrated botanical insecticide for controlling listed chewing and sap-sucking pests on ornamental plants, home lawns and ornamental potting soil.

It contains stabilised extracts from the neem tree and can control aphids, mites, whitefly, caterpillars, mealybugs, wingless grasshoppers, lawn armyworm, curl grubs, citrus leafminer, fungus gnats and sooty mould when used according to the label.

How eco-neem Works

eco-neem contains azadirachtin A and B, botanical compounds extracted from the neem tree. The manufacturer states that it works primarily by suppressing pest feeding and interfering with normal insect growth and moulting.

Plant damage may slow after treated pests ingest the product, although complete insect control can take several days depending on the pest type and size. Consistent applications may be needed while pest activity continues.
