Completely safe for children, pets, adults and in your home or garden. Neem oil is an all-natural, plant-based insecticide that kills insects quickly and effectively. Use at dusk when there is no danger of making contact with bees and other beneficial insects. Mix according to the instructions below, and spray onto the affected areas of foliage. For box moth caterpillars, spray as soon as you see traces of them on your plants. Do this regularly / daily, making sure you get the spray inside the plants. Repeat every three days until you see no trace of the caterpillars.
