Can neem oil kill my guardians( prayer mantis or lady bugs)to?

just stop using neem. it's mostly useless especially if it is 'clarified neem' -- if the active ingredients doesn't include a word spelles similarly to 'azadirechtin' - it is clarified neem and has no active ingredient. it just smells like shit and clogs up stomata at that point, lol. if you still must use it, take one of those praying mantiss and spray it, lol.. you'll find out soon enough.

Yo Snakeking, if you’ve got praying mantis chillin' in your pots, that’s a win they’re straight-up natural pest control killers. Now about neem oil yeah, it can mess them up if you spray it directly on them. Neem might not be full-on toxic like chemical sprays, but it still coats their bodies, and that can screw with how they breathe or feed, especially soft-bodied bugs like ladybugs. Mantis are tougher, but if you’re spraying weekly, even dried residue could mess with them over time. Honestly, if the mantis are already in there doing work, don’t spray anything. Neem’s job is to kill pests but so is the mantis’s. So spraying defeats the whole purpose. Let nature handle it. Unless you’ve got a serious outbreak, just sit back and let your green guardians hunt. No neem, no stress. Let them feast

Hi Snakeking. Why would you want to get rid of praying mantis and lady bugs? They eat all the other pests that attack your plant. Praying mantis are especially beneficial to cannabis plants as they are carnivorous and help control pest populations by eating harmful insects like aphids and spider mites, which can damage the plants.

Try not to get it on the leaf, it can create a physical barrier on the leaf surface, hindering gas exchange and/or photosynthesis.

Hey 👋 I would agree. Neem oil works as insecticide and fungicide. If you spray those mantis with the oil it will for sure harm if not even kill them :(

Hey Growmie, Yes, neem oil will take care of your little bug issue. If you spray it directly on praying mantises or ladybugs, it can harm or even kill them. It mainly affects soft-bodied insects,
