You might want to look at spinosad for elimination on contact. http://www.amazon.com/Monterey-Spinosad-Organic-Garden-Insect/dp/B000BWY3OQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1373556804&sr=1-2&keywords=spinosad+organic

Neem oil, azamax, sesame seed oil, are all systematic by nature which means they deal with pest issues over the course of time. They will not fix a problem immediately, or "on contact". They are effective in their own ways and will, in many cases, provide a permanent pest solution if regular treatments are practiced. Spinosad kills on contact... even western thrips, that can actually thrive on some organic insecticides.

Yeah it takes Imop about 3-5 with 5 being where u can really tell no bugs come around ....
I spray every week just in case and i have added it to my composting ...
That way its there and when i top dress it will be fed with watering ...

Its also great for uptake of nutrients !!!

This is the proper way to use systematics. I don't foliar feed (that's just me) but I do have it worked into my mix and will add it when I add some moisture to the mix to keep it from drying out between grows. I have a brugmansia in my yard that got virtually eaten alive last year (I planted it last year) and I have been treating it with systematics throughout the year and nothing more than an occasional grasshopper this year... and they were gone before they got started good. I use AzaMax, but neem and others work as well or better, if used properly.

See I did Azamax ...but I think I was adding the wrong amount of Soap to it as well for the surfactant ...
Once I found the proper ratio of the soap that was alot of the success as well ...
I've got about 13 been trees to plant along my landscaping in the fall ...figured id add a few in since I'll be needing alot of it lol ...

thanks guys! I appreciate it. While I have never had much of a bug problem here i know it is better to be proactive. Thanks again!!

That was an easy mistake to make, if all your previous experience was with neem. It's not exactly like neem. There is no soap added to AzaMax. It is mixed straight into the water to be watered into the mix.
