I have leafminers on my boxwood hedge. Someone gave me Neem concentrate to spray on the boxwood. Does anyone know if Neem will effectively kill the leafminers?

Neem oil works very well on leaf miners - I have used it exclusively
for several years on my spinach and chard. It is also effective with
those rusty fungal splotches that attack beans in warm, humid weather.
