Hello, do any of you ladies know where I can find Neem oil in Qatar? It is made from tree bark and used to get rid of mealybugs on plants. Have looked in gardening shops, no luck so far !

I use just plain old fairy liquid and water in a spray bottle. Worked on our tomatoes which seemed to be a favourite of theirs, the horrible little things!

ladies I have been doing some research and have concocted my own weapon against mealy bugs where I saw resukts after the first day! Pour equal amounts of rubbing alcohol (i bought it from the chemist/pharmacy with a strength of 70%) and water, add a few drops of fairy washing up liquid into a spray bottle and hey presto watch them start to turn brown/black the following day as they start to dry up! I have been spraying them for 3 days now and it's working a treat! Just make sure you give them a good drenching! Good luck, and let me know if it works for you!

Carolina, Can you please update this thread if you do find the Neem oil. My poor Petunia's are nearly infested with these things which seem unaffected by the only plant safe bug spray I can find here in Qatar! TIA!
