I have been using Neem Oil for couple years but it never has really worked.

Wonder if anyone has the same problem?

Please be organic.

Neem has a very limited shelf life if opened. Neem is an insectcide but it's not very potent for most insects. It is better used as a fungicide or a horticultural oil. It has its place but not as an effective insectcide.

I used Captain Jack Dead Bug on my Cabbage.

Had a problem with Spider Mites and used a Hot Pepper spray I made and it worked.

For some reason I don't really get any serious bug problems thankfully. Perhaps it's the type of plants I grow or possibly a good balance of bug predators, I'm not really sure. Last year though I had some aphids on some young musk strawberry plants but I just kept flicking them off and eventually the problem went away.

The very worst thing I had was Spider Mites. Which I got from a sick looking Majestic Palm that I felt sorry for. Had them on my Money Tree and Lemon Tree. I used Hot Pepper Juice on all it worked but plants looked bad for awhile.

Had them on couple Marijuana plants in Bud. I destroyed the Plants and used a Synthetic Spray which took care of them from what I seen.

My son says he never has Bugs. I showed him some White Flies and he says oh I thought you was talking about Bugs. Then I explained most Bugs you can't see with the naked eye.

Oh I'm seeing more Lady Bugs and Predatory Wasp.

Seen a Bug the other day I didn't know what it was so I looked it up while I was looking at it, Assassin Bug. Figured with a name like that stay clear let him do his thing.
