    I wouldn't. Essential oils are usually harmful directly applied to plants

    You'd be better off with like a peroxide dilution, or mosquito bits water

    Essential oils are very harsh in roots especially.

    You would be better off using an organic fungicide/biocide like Arbor, with systemic insecticide granules
