Neem and seedlings

Hi,

I posted this in a thread titled 'Fungus gnats have taken over'. They were discussing neem oil for a treatment, so I asked the following question- I'm new here and someone told me to start a new thread to get better answers- not sure how to do that- do I just pick a forum (like this one) and post? On to my question.

'I'm new here and had a question about neem use. I have used it in the house on mature plants- it takes a while, but seems to work. I've heard about peppermint tea too- that is said to wipe them out pretty quickly. I have some in my small greenhouse- not many, but I don't want them to get out of control. I have seedlings in there too. So, my question is, can I use neem on seedlings? Should they be bottom watered with the solution? Is it safe to spray it directly on them. I use it now on my benches, but I really want it to go into the soil to get the little bastards living in the there (pardon my french!)

Any info on peppermint tea would be great too!

Hope you can help!'
