    I have recently moved home and suddenly noticed I have mealy bug on some of my plants ( never had them where I used to live was there 7 years) . Knowing they are difficult to exterminate have heard that neem oil works does anyone have experience of this and if so how to use it.

    I have great success with Neem oil and horticultural soap in this ration..
    • 5 ml neem oil
    • 2ml horticultural soap or other detergent
    • 1 ltr warm water
    • Shake the bottle while spraying as well..
