My neem oil treatment worked wonders the first year growing hot peppers. Aphids were dying like soldiers during D-day. Come next year, the treatment started becoming ineffective. It seemed like the aphids had adapted or something. Surely I was cursed with some kind of mutant super aphid? Then I read somewhere that neem oil is best fresh, so I started working my brain cell and deduced that maybe the culprit wasn't superior aphid genes. Maybe my neem oil was too old? This prompted me to order some new, fresh, stinky oil. Lo and behold, aphids were again losing their war on my plants!
