Neem Oil?

Does Neem Oil go bad?

Got a problem with Fungus Gnats I'm really thinking of trying Hydrogen Peroxide first.

Doing some repotting and putting Mosquito Bits on the soil.

Never used it, but I have seen people here saying it needs to be fresh.

That's what I was thinking. I've mixed up spray. Dish Soap, Vegetable Oil and Peppermint Oil.

It works they don't like the Peppermint.

Does it help to refrigerate?

Nope. Instead, boiled neem leaves and garlic can be refrigerated for a while.

I was watching boiling Hot Peppers and Onion for a spray canning it up, use as needed.

That's acidic. Might harm the leaves.

No clue, I set it outside in my garden bin, it will be there through the winter.

I mixed some Dish Soap and Peppermint Oil in Cooking Oil.

The mix I seen didn't call for Peppermint Oil but I know bugs don't like it so.

Neem oil can go bad, typically losing effectiveness over time, especially if not stored properly. It should be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency (I leave mine out too often).

For fungus gnats, hydrogen peroxide can be an effective initial treatment. It helps to aerate the soil and kill gnat larvae. Mix one part of 3% hydrogen peroxide with four parts water, and apply it to the soil.

I checked it out online and it says go for it.
