Neem bark is ground into a fine powder and used as an organic pesticide. This is done by dusting the crops with this fine powder. This is not dangerous to humans who will later eat the food. In addition, neem bark powder can be used to keep insects out of homes. Many people dust the doorways, cracks and base of their homes to protect them against insect invasion.
