More about Neem and its many uses including dust mites and carpet infestations.

Neem oil, cold-pressed from the fruits / seeds of the Indian neem tree, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It's used to treat rashes, as a shampoo for head lice and much more.  Farmers in Asia burn dried leaves and use them to drive away beetles and insects in farming. In recent times, western science has researched the active ingredient and has found that the azadirachitin contained in the seed kernels in particular is effective as a natural textile protection against moths and also dust mites.  After extensive series of tests, neem oil was classified as very effective according to ISO standard 3998. Just 10ml sprayed on 1 square meter of carpet or corresponding storage room protect against moth infestation for 6-12 months. Neem spoils the insects appetite so that they can neither develop nor multiply.  For a few years now, the product has even been used as a natural pesticide in vegetable cultivation, where it is diluted with water and sprayed directly onto the vegetables. The agent is therefore completely harmless to humans and is increasingly being used in organic farming.
