Default [IBC] protecting trees from cicada damage

Will a light coating of Neem Oil have any effect on the cicada's ??
How about Carl's famous soap solution ?

Still worried about my bonsai !!


A personal observation about cicadas: they are zombies. They have no survival instincts. So don't expect them to leave a tree just because you sprayed it. Remember, they don't really eat, and when they go to lay their eggs, the wrong "end" is involved.
So protectant sprays aren't going to work.

I bought 20 yards of netting for 0.50/yd. You can't beat it.
