What are y’all’s thoughts on using neem oil to get rid of leaf miners?

I’m pretty sure I’m dealing with these critters and I’m not sure on how to get rid of them.

    It’s fine. If you want, just remove the leaf. Neem isn’t necessary here and probably wouldn’t do that much as they’re in the leaf itself

  2. I’ve never seen anyone successfully get rid of leaf miners. If they look too bad I pull the leaves, but I’m honestly not sure what harm they actually cause to the plant

    I THINK neem also has a negative impact on pollinators but I don’t currently have a source.

    unless you plan to eat the leaves leaf miners are harmless. annoying as heck on spinach and beets tho
