Neem Oil 70% / Water ratio for insect control...

[SweetMissDaisy]

Hi all... the label on my neem bottle isn't legible any longer, and I need to double check w/ someone on the ratio of neem to water for insect control (cucumber beetles are rampant!!)

Is it 2oz Neem to 1 gal water?
And a drop or two of liquid soap?

Hello Sweet Miss Daisy !
It looks like you will need to mix 1 teaspoon neem oil to 1 qt. water and 1/4 teaspoon of dish soap. ( non-antibacterial.) X4 for a gallon. :bouquet Good Luck.... Hugs, too!

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is neem oil?

I also found "recipes" for spray here:

I had trouble finding that page earlier (I didn't scroll far enough down past the dang google ad links :/ )
