This stuff its organic and works great on veggies and such. Could it be used for VTFs? I dont need it, but i do have my king henry outside and hes caught bugs in all of his traps. (Master Assassin). Now that hes defensesless im worried hes gona get attacked.

Neem oil solution is safe for VFTs. Don't use any unless there's a pest problem, though. It's mainly used on aphids, anyway, which are too small to be caught in any trap.

Ok, i hope i dont need it but i have some for my veggie garden, good to have something for a rapid solution. Thanks.

Actually neem is not a rapid solution. It needs to be absorbed by the plant, then as the bugs eat the plant it essentially intoxicates them to the point they forget they need to eat and reproduce. That's why it needs multiple applications to be effective. I posted a link around here somewhere about it. I post a lot, so I have no idea which thread it's in but it's here somewhere. If you Google how neem works I'm sure you'll find something. I usually go for the .edu sites.

Just apply early morning or in the evening. Applying in direct sunlight could burn your plants.
