Neem tree as insect repellent

May I know if planting a neem tree in itself acts as an insect repellant to its surroundings? I would like to know if it is enough to plant the neem tree without having to make oil or whatsoever. Thank you.

Neem tree as insect repellent
by: Birgit

The neem tee first and foremost keeps itself insect free. It only has limited effect on the surroundings. But a big tree, planted in a small yard, will make a difference to the overall number of insects present.

It depends on what you want to achieve.

One tree in the vegetable garden will make little difference to your crops getting eaten.

If you live in a tropical area and want to repel mosquitoes, then one small tree in the garden will not prevent bites. A big tree in front of the door will reduce the number of mosquitoes entering the house.

Planting a neem tree can help, but don't expect miracles.

How to prepare neem biopesticide?

I am looking for an environment-friendly way of reducing mosquito population around a sports complex especially outdoors near the swimming pools.

Neem plant parts are insect repellents. But how do I prepare the mixture? How often do we need to spray? Help. Thanks in advance

Mix 10 ml of Neemoil with 10 ml of emulsifier and add on liter of water. This will be a good spray to get rid off insects.

You can use neem as a mosquito repellent if you mix neem tree oil and orange juice extract and spray it. It is very effective. I experienced making that weeks ago when I made my Investigatory Project.
