Veggie oil works without the smell. :)

Uuh got any sources for that claim?
Yeah, I was gonna say, it kinda needs to have azadirachtin in it by definition.
If someone sells you neem oil that’s lacking, they’re just a con man.
Good info, thanks
I think neem oil smells like fried onions. But I also like durian and matsutake so maybe i’m an outlier.
I know some Danish fish you might like…
Surströmning is from Sweden 😉
It’s been quite a while since I used it but I remember kind of liking the smell.
There was a tiny undertone of some sort of funky rotten garlicky smell, but predominantly I thought it was more spicy and piney smelling
I enjoy the smell too.
Seriously: could I just use olive or seeds oil to get rid of aphids, for instance?
Most oils will suffocate aphids when applied directly, but neem oil contains azadirachtin, a pesticide which will stay on the plant and will keep aphids away by disrupting their lifecycle.
This makes sense. Thanks.
You can just make a simple soap solution to spray them with. Look up home made insecticidal soap.
Last time I tried that I killed my plant, lol.
That’s thinking outside the box! No more plants, no more pests!
Get at the root of the problem
Bless your heart.
