How will spraying my plants with neem oil affect beneficial bugs?
I hear it totally screws up a bug, and I was alright with that up until tonight but I found a mantis on my gate coming into my yard and figured screw it, with him and ladybugs I might as well start using predator bugs instead of spraying pesticides.
I've got the mantis in there now and I'll be ordering some ladybugs by the end of the week, but I was wondering if I spray my plants and the bugs are on them when I spray will they get all messed up too?
What should I use instead of neem oil if I don't want to harm the bugs?
Or do I just stop spraying altogether now that I'm using bugs to prevent the problem?
Thanks a ton!
