I have thought about using Neem, but some have reported phytotoxicity on their plants. What's your experience using it?

Have you used them inside with good results? I'm worried they won't be able to establish themselves, and I don't think they will find much to eat. I don't think I could key them out myself, but in a couple of weeks there will be a gardening exhibition/fair, where I think the Swedish...
