    Default Would neem oil kill springtails?

    I think I have springtails and wondering if neem oil or any other product will kill them or control them somehow ?

    Better to keep all related questions to one thread mate. Not sure if it kills springtails but either way I would recommend it as an essential part of your IPM plan. Nothing worse than loosing the harvest to pests.

    Just leave them if they’re springtails mate, they’ll cause no harm to the plants and in some cases can be beneficial. You 100% sure it’s springtails?

    Best way to get rid is to let the top inch of your medium to really dry out between waterings. The like the moist medium, dry it out, they can’t survive and reproduce. That will atleast keep the numbers down

    It kills loads of things mate, loads, and not just kills them, but the smell keeps bugs away as they hate it. It’s like a nerve agent for bugs. Fucks with their brains, makes them forget to eat, reproduce, shit, proper fucks them up until they’re all dead. And leaves a scent that tells other bugs, do no tread here lol. But those springtails are happy bugs man, leave them to it.
