    Q
    How soon after applying Captain Jacks can I apply Neem oil?
    Will applying Neem Iil counteract Captain Jack's Dead Bug? I need to spray for cucumber beetles.I just applied your product last night.
    A

    While the products could be used one after the other, applying Neem Oil (which is a suffocant) over surfaces treated with Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate (which works by ingestion) would null the Captain Jacks as insects would die faster and not be able to ingest it.  We would recommend waiting 7 days to apply Neem.
