 NEEM can TOTALLY Destroy BEDBUGS!
The blood-sucking BEDBUGS are spreading fast all over the world in places of human habitations. They have become a great nuisance, as It is very difficult to eradicate them with the commonly used method of spraying insecticides. Their bites can cause severe itching, sleeplessness, depression, anemia and other related problems. Â
Even by using different types of insecticides regularly, I had failed again and again to remove all the BEDBUGS from my room. ONLY after I started using NEEM soap and NEEM detergents to wash my bedsheets, pillow covers, blankets, mosquito net, and also to wash my clothes – shirts, pants, underwears, banians, nightdresses, caps, socks, handkerchiefs, towels, napkins, etc – did the BEDBUGS DISAPPEAR totally within a few days!Â
We can use NEEM SPRAYS to kill and repel bedbugs, mosquitoes, mites, lice, fleas, ticks, cockroaches, ants, flies, etc. Washing our clothes with NEEM soap and NEEM detergents repels these insects. BATHING with NEEM soap and using NEEM creams and NEEM lotions too can help our bodies to repel bedbugs, mosquitoes, mites and lice, and to prevent diseases like ANEMIA, MALARIA, DENGUE, CHIKUNGUNYA, SCABIES, etc.Â
