Bonide Captain Jack's Neem Max Ready-to-Use Spray, 64 oz | Cold Pressed Neem Oil, For Indoor or Outdoor Plants, Organic Gardening

I've always had great success using neem oil on my hydrangeas and roses, so I decided to try Bonide Captain Jack's Neem Max with the attached spray wand. I'm glad I did! The spray wand makes application incredibly fast and easy. It provides excellent coverage, so I feel confident that I'm treating the entire plant without missing any spots. It has turned what used to be a time-consuming chore into a quick and simple task. I was so impressed that I've already ordered another 128-ounce bottle to make sure I have enough to get through the summer. Based on my experience so far, I'll definitely continue purchasing this product. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an effective, easy-to-use neem oil solution for their garden.

Been using "Captain Jack's Neem Oil" for over a year now and found it quite effective for controlling aphids and sawfly worms (larvae), the two most persistent pests in my little garden. For rose leaves, I physically defoliate any leaves with those tiny holes from the Sawfly and then spray heavily, trying as best I can to get the underside of the leaves AND the soil as well. I do the same with my edibles..herbs, etc. I alternate and use a safe for organic gardening, "Captain Jack's Insecticidal Super Soap". So far...pretty good results, but I've found you must be persistent as these pests reappear with untreated foliage growth as well as after any rain or what have you. It's important for any product I use to be safe for wildlife and humans. I maintain hummingbird feeders and I don't t want to harm them. I spray after dark when they're unlikely to feed..as the odor is strong and can repel the hummingbirds. I also avoid spraying blossoms. It can be so disheartening when you invest your time and energy growing things only to have insatiable insects destroy it. Neem oil has really reversed that for me! Also, I don't get eaten up by mosquitoes like I did...so another big bonus... repels them too! I spray a mist of it right around the cuff of my gardening pants...helps a lot as I'm a mosquito magnet. And if I spray after sunset, there's no lingering odor by next morning.

Bought this because I have Lily beetles eating my Tiger Lilies. Have a lot of them so bought gallon size. Heard complaints about sprayer, but mine worked perfectly. I even used it for something else. Now, the lily beetles haven’t vanished because they’re relentless and I started a little late in season to get eggs. But definitely better than last year, when I didn’t use this. I also squish them if I see them, so that also helps. Would recommend

Been using this for aphids indoors for about a week now, there’s certainly less of them. I’m hoping another week will see all pests gone. I’ve had other neem oils have pungent smells in the past, so I was happy that this one only has a minor odor. Regardless, lost two stars for the worst possible spray mechanism ever. It is not the spray nozzle pictured (which works well), but instead one that is difficult to press and ineffective at dispensing the product. Instead it barely sprays and most drips onto your fingers and makes a mess. Hard to control bugs when you can’t spray the product on your plants. Cheapest quality bottle ever.

I grow most of our veggies and indoors under lights year around, and bought this neem oil primarily to eliminate spider mites that I brough in with an online purchase. I did get the battery operated spray, but I use a spray bottle that dispersed the spray more evenly. Neem oil will kill bugs and eggs, but it is a contact spray and must be sprayed directly on eggs and bugs to kill them. Leaves must be sprayed top and bottom, stems must be sprayed, and even the soil must be sprayed for any bug or eggs in the soil. Especially when the plants have a lot of foliage, multiple sprays are required in an effort to spray all of the bugs and eggs. For something like spider mites, this means spraying the plants thoroughly every other day for up to 2 weeks. If you miss any mites or eggs, they start reproducing all over again. For example, a spider mite female, within a few days of hatching, can produce 8-20 eggs per day and live up to 3 weeks. That means that one female spider mite, if left undisturbed, can theoretically produce 300+ eggs by the end of her life. If you get spider mites, you must be diligent in consistent spraying to prevent a severe infestation. I have been battling spider mites for a couple of years, and I can't honestly say you ever get rid of them. About the best you can do is to control them. If you do have spider mites or other bug problems, this gallon bottle, since it is ready to use, will not last long depending on the number of plants you have. It might be more cost effective to buy a concentrate that needs to be diluted. If you have a number of plants to spray, as I do, this gallon bottle is a good size, but is not cost effective. I do like that this spray is all natural and not toxic, but there are other options for concentrated sprays that are added to water that last much longer. This spray is effective as a contact spray, but the key word here is "contact". If you miss one female or one egg, they can start up all over again. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Wand worked better than expected, perfect, effective, wide spread mist. The wand also bends to any angle you want to help spray under leaves. It does smell strong, but not not a bad trade off for destroying these white fly colonies. 100% recommend to anyone dealing with white flies in their vegetable garden or in their yard in general.

I had read reviews that complained about the sprayer not working. There were many, I was "sure" that the problem had been fixed. Nope! I had decided go with the convenience of the automatic sprayer. It came over night and I was ready. The sprayer hummed nicely, but didn't spray. I gave it time to prime-checked for holes or kinks. I contacted Bonide through their website. I got a fast response, requesting a photo. The replacement came quickly and works great. It is so much easier to use than a squirt bottle or hand sprayer-easier on the hand. The sprayer neck is long and bendable, so it makes spraying the underside of leaves super easy. Perhaps I should have take off a star for the little bit of hassle, but I am so happy with the product, I decided it deserved my highest recommendation - 5 stars. I am actually thinking of buying some for family gifts!

I am giving this 4/5 not for the product itself bc i actually feel this works fantastic in my garden. I had bugs destroying my eggplants and this was the only thing that has saved it. I will say the electric sprayer is NOT good at all. It actually didn't work even a tiny bit. I ended up throwing it away and putting the solution in a regular spray bottle. Overall the product is fantastic but the sprayer is trash!!
