Bonide Captain Jack's Neem Max, 8 oz Concentrated Cold Pressed Neem Oil | Multi-Purpose Insecticide, Fungicide, Miticide and Nematicide, For Organic Gardening

This product is amazing at killing pests. I have a heavy intestation of Japanese beetles, and this is one of the best broad spectrum insecticides for indoor / outdoor use on the market. It can also be used in a hydroponic system and is recommended for organic gardening. This 16 oz bottle will make up to 20 gallons of pesticide concentrate. Because I have a heavy infestation I need 4.5 tablespoons per gallon of water. I have Japanese Beatles crawling all over the place and what this does is destroys their ability to breathe by coating their body with an oil and also when ingested, they die. Mixed in a one gallon sprayer it's very easy to spray, it does not have any residue. It is recommended that you wait until it's below 90°. So spray in the morning or in the evening and coat your leaves, but don't drench them dripping wet. This it product can be used on bulbs, fruity vegetables, legumes, roots tree nuts, herbs, spices, even on grass, lawns and ornamentals. One amazing versatile pesticide. This one bottle that's gonna make up to 20 gallons is a great product, safe to use and has a great price. I don't think you could ask for more.

I have a commercial greenhouse and I've tried lots of concentrated and pre-mix neem oils. Captain Jack's really does the job and does it at a discount. I have it on auto order.

This neem oil is very easy to use. I had a few infestations on both indoor houseplants and on some outdoor plants. I had tried using soapy water sprays, but these seemed to only work very temporarily (and did not affect scaIe at all). So I bought a 32 ounce spray bottle, placed 2.5 teaspoons of this neem oil in the sprayer, added lukewarm water, shook the bottle, and sprayed the affected plants. I repeated this every 5 days or so over about 3 weeks. Although initially the parasites persisted, after 3 weeks they were completely gone and the dead scale was easily brushed off. I was expecting to need to do additional treatments, but so far, none of the infestations has returned. The neem oil isn't so much of an immediate killer as it is a multifaceted growth inhibitor. That is why you may not see immediate results. A handful of tips: - use lukewarm water to mix with the neem oil. It seems to mix easier. - shake the container of concentrate well to mix it prior to use. - shake your spray bottle periodically to keep the oil/water mixture as homogeneous as possible. - definitely be certain to spray the underside of leaves, as most of the insects will be situated there. - don't give up; repeat weekly or so and the infestation will stop - definitely wear gloves and eye protection, and be careful not to inhale any spray None of the plants (monstera, dracaenae, or orchids) has demonstrated any ill effects after 4 weeks. Obviously, I did not test this on any fungal infestation or other insets or arachnids, so your results may vary. I recommend this product. But please read the product information to be certain the neem oil is effective against the infesting organism.

Good product, not an immediate fix though. I had an aphid problem ( not quite an infestation, but definitely on its way to causing major damage to my seedlings) that was causing an ant problem because of the sticky residue that the aphids leave behind. I diluted the product as directed on the bottle. The first morning I sprayed my plants, underside and tops of leaves. By the next morning, I had more leaf damage from the aphids... Even though the product stated to wait a few days in between applications, I used again the next morning. Still had aphid residue/presence of bugs. So for the third application (4 days after initial application) I added a little bit of liquid castile soap, BOOM, the problem was gone by that evening. I washed off the mixture with my water hose and made sure that I wiped away any leftover bug residue in case the stronger mixture was too strong, to avoid leaf damage. Separate issue with a different colored aphid, the green ones, on my sugar snap peas. They were attacking all new growth. I used the instructions on bottle, but added a half teaspoon extra and the problem was gone the next day. I probably should have waited a couple of hours then washed away the mixture because all of the new growth was somewhat wilted/damaged. But this was completely my own wrong doing! Sugar snap pease are pretty delicate, especially the new growth. But they continued to grow and the damage was minimal. Good product, worked fast. Id recommend doing your own due diligence and just play around with measurements on the dilution of this product if it doesn't seem to work after the first couple of applications. Try it out on a very small section of plant that won't be too harmful if damage is done.

Jack’s Neem Max Concentrate has been a useful addition to my garden care routine. It’s easy to mix and apply, and a little goes a long way. I like using it as part of my regular plant-care routine to help keep common garden pests under control. It’s convenient to have a concentrated product rather than buying a ready-to-use spray. Overall, a good option for gardeners looking for a neem-based plant treatment.

I had bought a gardenia that was shipped to me. It arrived with some sort of small bugs that were putting pin holes in the leaves. I bought this to kill whatever it was and it worked on the unknown pin hole bug. 😆 Having burnt plants before I mixed and applied it on a cloudy day and kept the plant in a shaded area to be on the safe side. The plant is doing well and thriving! I did not notice a particularly strong scent. There was no leakage, and I've relied on Captain Jack products before. I can't remember the dosage but I mixed it in a quart sized sprayer and feel the product is a good value..because it's a consistent product and I've used CJs before. Tried and true. I didn't want to take a chance on an unknown.

I have ordered this more than once in the premixed container. This makes it cheaper to use. This is a great product to prevent and to rid your plants of diseases and pests. I don’t mind the smell.

Works as intended so far.My plants was being ravaged by all kinds of bugs.Aftervdat one you could see the difference, day 2, 3,4 ,5 almost all signs of leaf cutters, aphids, and other bugs down big tome.I like it because it does not harm bees, of butterflies.
