Default NeeMix 4.5?

Have you heard of this product? I found it at my horticulture supply place, and apparently most of the big organic growers use it, the problem for me is that it is $149.00 for a quart, but you only need a 1/4 of a teaspoon to a gallon for controlling all kinds of bugs. What say you tville? Any one use it, or interested in using it, and going halvies with me?

desert,

It is a Neem based IGR, messing up their ability to molt, according to the Manufacturer:

The same (similar) active ingredient is in Azatrol, I believe. I trialed it last year, but it took several weeks before I saw any effect, which makes sense if you are interrupting their digestive system. Here is a Retail Product:

I find Take Down Garden Spray does the job for me, at a whole lot less expense (and faster).
