Caterpillar Neem Oil Spray - 250ml - Natural Caterpillar Repellent & Plant Care - Effective Box Hedge Caterpillar Treatment & Buxus Caterpillar Solution for Vibrant Gardens

My young, 4 year old greengage tree was on it's last legs. So far it was doing really well and bearing good crop of fruit. This year( 2019) has been ovelwhelmed by some pests, i assumed grenfly. Leaves curled, young growth stunted and dying. Whole young twigs drying up. Young fruit wrinkled and dropping.off. After 2 applications in the evening, solid top and bottom ( nothing to lose here) 4 days in between, amazing result! Young leaves appeared on branches, fruit recovered (although less than in the previous year). My tree is alive and doing well. I sprayed third time, 2 weeks after the second application. So far, a month and a half later, all is well. Worth.the money and a little weird garlicky smell. I will buy again.

I have an elm bonsai that has had a mysterious infestation since purchase several months ago. I tried traditional pesticides weekly, rinsing the leaves weekly, even repotting with new soil and the infestation seemed to reappear even worse a few days after treatment. After only a week and a half of treatment it appears I have cured the infestation. I had also noticed many oil covered tiny gnats sticking to the window next to the bonsai after treatment which I assume are aphids. So it's surprising that rinsing and traditional pesticides hadn't worked previously. There was also an issue with fungus like growth in the soil that seems to have been cleared up by the neem oil treatment. One thing to note is that I completely doused the tree in oil and many leaves fell off afterwards including new growth leaves. The product is so effective that you probably just need a light spray as to not harm the leaves or maybe rinse the neem oil off after 24 hours. My plant is quite healthy despite the previous infestation so the leaf loss doesn't concern me very much. The smell is also pretty bad with the garlic but it wears off after a few hours. It doesn't stick to your hands if you just wash them with soap afterwards.

I've given it 3 stars because I can't comment on how effective it is on caterpillars, however, if you are thinking of buying this product for indoor plants to fix a black fly problem, don't bother! The description says it works on other bugs, but it has absolutely no effect unfortunately. Just leaves your room smelling of garlic, which I could handle if it worked, but it did nothing. I used it for about a week and a half, every day, with zero impact. I purchased it thinking it was pure Neem oil as I'd heard that works but this product is a mix of multiple things - maybe that's why it didn't work!

I read that Lily Beetles detect the plants by scent and that if you can mask the scent by, for example, an infusion of garlic this will deter the pests. If that is the case them Neem oil hould work as it smells like garlic on steroids. I don't know if it will work against the pests but I'm posting this review to warn people to wear protective vinyl or latex gloves because the smell of the oil is very difficult to get off ones hands. I had to wash my hands numerous times including with wash-up liquid, lemon juice but still the pungent smell remained on my hands. I ended up smothering my hands in lavender hand cream and putting on vinyl gloves for an hour or so. In the end I got rid of the smell but it was a long process and I won't make the mistake again. UPDATE 27 June: I'm amazed at how effective this oil has been. I was plagued by lily beetles destroying my lilies even though I was catching the blighters and removing their grubs. Since I sprayed my plants, even though it has rained, the destruction has ceased. I think being an oil it withstands rain. I had an infestations of black fly on my Artemesia Powys Castle and a couple of Philadephus: the Neem oil cleared the problem. The oil seems expensive but because it lasts after a dose I think it's worth the cost.

Absolutely stinks and does not work

It smells minty and pleasant to me.. Hopefully not so to the insects. It is to be sprayed at the base of the plant to discourage slugs and caterpillars. I really wanted it for greenfly on the roses. My hosta was still getting nibbled but perhaps less than before the spray was used. Green fly went too but unsure if that was due to soapy bubbles I put on. Would rather use this than chemicals.

Product smells as others warned - however this is just the smell of the oil and is not the manufacturers fault. It’s like ordering garlic and then saying it smells garlicky. Works just fine. My plant has started to wilt and get worse since using it however I don’t want to assume it is the oil as it could be another part of my husbandry as it is a new plant. The mealy bugs haven’t come back though so I think it works in that aspect. However I do think it is expensive for what it is.

One spritz and the gnats are GONE. Doesn’t seem to have distressed any of my plants at all. Used on spider plants, sansevierias, peace lilies, rubber plant, areca palm, and parlour palm, all with great success. Does smell a bit for a while after you use it, but that dissipates after an hour or so and it’s a small price to pay!

j'ai trouvé le produit efficace. le bouchon spray se dévisse. dans un litre d'eau de pluie je met une cuillère à soupe de savon noir et une cuillère à soupe du produit caterpillar Garten Gluck je verse dans un vapo, je secoue et je vaporise. ça a parfaitement fonctionné (économique, produit acheté l'an passé, je l'utilise encore cette année).

Buen producto para prevenir ataques de plagas en plantas si se usa regularmente y también sirve para tratarlas si finalmente aparecen. ( Aunque requiere varias aplicaciones) Ninguna planta a la que se lo he aplicado ha tenido una reacción adversa al producto

Ich habe schon einiges ausprobiert, mit dem Öl konnte ich die Rosen endlich von den Blattläusen befreien, habe es aber öfter angewendet, als angegeben.

No es la solucion espectacular pero cumple su funcion. Cuidado con las dosis.
