Question From: M. Sutphin - Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
Q: I have a bird in my apt.What precautions should I use in spraying Neem oil as far as ventillation in winter? Of course I would take plants out of her room when I treat them. After they dry can I return them to room?Is shutting door to room till morning good enough?
A: Melinda, I am not certified to handle pesticides so I can't give you advice regarding safety for use around your bird. However, I can give you some tips regarding the use of pesticides indoors. Read the label to be sure the product safe for use indoors. There are hundreds of products that contain Neem and their formulas vary. I would also talk to a vet that specializes in birds. Most pesticide label contain 800 numbers you can call for information on the product or go to their website. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
