My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Neem Oil on Milkweed

12 years ago

My sister in Florida used Neem oil ONE time on a few of her Milkweed plants.

She has seen Monarch cats on the plants since she sprayed. But she did not see them on there before she sprayed. So she is thinking there was eggs during the spray. She has seen the Monarchs in her yard.
So she is concerned if the caterpillars will be harmed if they ate the leaves off of the plant was sprayed once. She said she washed all the leaves off immediately when she seen the butterflies in her yard. So maybe she sprayed the plants about 8 days ago. Any suggestions? Sorry If its confusing. Thanks
