Where can I buy Neem Oil Concentrate (Gardening - General)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I am trying to control a bad flea beetle infestation. It was recommended to me to spray Neem Oil.

I did a search at www.google.com which confirmed that Neem Oil has been proven effective against flea beetles. But, when I did another search for suppliers/retailers I only came up with innumerable sources for cosmetic and pet care products and a few wholesalers who sell the stuff by the barrel.

I have about 3/4 acre, i.e. a litre or so of concentrate would probably be sufficient.

I've never mail ordered it before but here in North Florida I've seen both Lowes and Home Depot carries Neem Oil. Haven't had the need to use it before but I did note that they had it just in case.

Try Gardens Alive (GardensAlive.com). I'm not sure they carry pure Neem oil, but they have Neem-oil-based products. What about planting a strip of trap plants around your field to entice the flea beetles away from the good plants? They love things like radishes or turnips.

Greenlight makes a Neem concentrate. You should be able to get it at any garden center that carries Greenlight products.
