Oh yeah I remember now. It's been several years since I had the mites.
In their Mite-Rid spiel they said it was a refined concentrate of the active ingredient in neem. I've never tried actual neem oil. Someone tried to convince me that it was the main ingredient in Mite-Rid and I guess I believed them. Seen plenty of neem trees- we used to use the twigs to brush our teeth with- but other than I don't have experience with it. It's true that I've seen people on this forum use neem and still not solve their problems. So Mite-Rid may be more effective.
At any rate it absolutely eradicated my mites, after two years of hell.
My understanding is that neem is also a systemic. But as you can tell my knowledge of the stuff is a little bit thin.
Only systemics really work, everything else just "controls" mites. Fuck neem oil, it doesn't work. And fuck trying to control them. It's W A R, soldier!
Grab a vial of Floramite SC on eBay. Or buy a $100 bottle, your call. Mites are a bitch, and trying to control but not eliminate them never ever ends well.
Did you emulsify your neem oil? What kind was it?
Most important thing about using neem oil is mixing it into soap until it is a milky white substance.

No, neem isn't systemic.
Reasoning?
I think everyone is getting caught up on the "neem" part of this. This product ECO-NEEM is not "neem oil", its active ingredient is azdarachtin.
Thanks for the feedback guys, after the first treatment there is no sign of mites anymore and one day later the leaves already look to be repaired
"Neem oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the neem (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen tree which is endemic to the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced to many other areas in the tropics. It is the most important of the commercially available products of neem for organic farming and medicines.
Neem oil varies in color; it can be golden yellow, yellowish brown, reddish brown, dark brown, greenish brown, or bright red. It has a rather strong odor that is said to combine the odours of peanut and garlic. It is composed mainly of triglycerides and contains many triterpenoid compounds, which are responsible for the bitter taste. It is hydrophobic in nature; in order to emulsify it in water for application purposes, it is formulated with surfactants.
Azadirachtin is the most well known and studied triterpenoid in neem oil. The azadirachtin content of neem oil varies from 300ppm to over 2500ppm depending on the extraction technology and quality of the neem seeds crushed. Nimbin is another triterpenoid which has been credited with some of neem oil's properties as an antiseptic, antifungal, antipyretic and antihistamine.[1] Neem oil also contains several sterols, including (campesterol, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol).
Formulations made of neem oil also find wide usage as a biopesticide for organic farming, as it repels a wide variety of pests including the mealy bug, beet armyworm, aphids, the cabbage worm, thrips, whiteflies, mites, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, leafminers, caterpillars, locust, nematodes and the Japanese beetle.[4][5] Neem oil is not known to be harmful to mammals, birds, earthworms or some beneficial insects such as butterflies, honeybees and ladybirds (ladybugs in US English) if it is not concentrated directly into their area of habitat or on their food source. It can be used as a household pesticide for ant, bedbug, cockroach, housefly, sand fly, snail, termite and mosquitoes both as repellent and larvicide.[2] Neem oil also controls black spot, powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust fungi.
In the UK, pesticides that contain Azadirachtin and/or neem oil are banned.
