    I’m trying to rid the basil of the hungry beetles organically. Any thoughts?

      Easy. I’ll send you photos of what I use on my citrus dwarf citrus. It’s an extract from the neem tree so it’s organic. Not a pesticide ! And plants sprayed are safe for human consumption !! You tube has many how to videos on neem oil. BUT ! Important note here ! Most suggest a couple drops of dish detergent to prevent the oil and water from separating ! Bad Bad Bad for the plants ! It’s a detergent. I will send you a photo of the only soap emulsifier for plants. Safe for plants and people.

    Both avail on Amazon. Avoid direct sunlight days. It’s same to plants like baby oil is to us. (Sun burn) A mist in the evening once a week will solve your critter problem. Good Luck

      I got NeemMax and sprayed in the morning and evening for 3 days. The Japanese beetles are gone!! Now I’ll do the weekly spray. This stuff is 🪄 magic. Apparently, it’s edible.🤣🪴🪲 Thank you so very much!
