    Q
    Hose Sprayer: which direction turns the Neem Oil on
    The sprayer that is attached to the end of a garden hose. There are two controls. One to turn the water on and off, and a second that turns the Neem Oil feed on and off. Which direction is "On" for the Neem Oil feed? (pointed up (12 O'Clock), or pointed sideways (at the 9 O'Clock position)?
    A
    If you are referring to the Monterey 70% Neem Oil RTS, then you can view the full instructions on page 2 of the product label here. You will connect the bottle to the hose, turn on the water, remove the pin, and then turn on the product flow and water flow. The red product valve will rotate toward you so it's more flat to use the container (you cannot turn it if the pin has not been removed).

    Q
    Can Monterey Horticultural Oil be used to treat root aphids?
    A

    For root aphids, we would suggest using Monterey Horticultural Oil as a foliar spray application to the leaves and stems of the roses and using Dominon 2L as a systemic application to the root zone. Dominon 2L is should be applied at the rate of 0.2 oz per inch of trunk diameter for trees or per foot of shrub height for bushes. This is the most effective treatment for year round control of aphids. Please review our article on Aphid Control for more information on treating this pest. ?
