Solution

Dear Student,
Due to its insect repellent properties Neem is used to store grains in houses. Sometimes Neem extracts are also used to against the pests and insects. These extracts do not usually kill insect pests immediately. They change the feeding or life cycle of the insect until it is no longer able to live or have young.
Cheers!!
