Anyone else use BT for caterpillars? Tried it once a couple years back, been swearing by it ever since.

Since I flower outdoors, I tend to get a lot of pests, but the 'pillars are by far the worst. I remember burping a jar of curing nugs and a moth flying out .

This stuff does its job within a day or two. I always sprayed the plants all around it and i'd be set.

The bacteria ends up creating a culture growing naturally on the plant, meaning you only have to spray a couple times unless it rains. 'Pillars eat the leaves with bacteria on em and die. Its totally safe and legal for use on fruits, even the day before harvest.

on an unrelated note, does anyone else have a problem spelling caterpillars? i end up wanting to spell it catapiller >.>

I wonder if that stuff would work for the wormies we had in our flower beds and garden last season? Is it for general anti-caterpillarness, cuz that would work if it was.

The ones in the flowers tended to eat the pretty stuff first. So that sucked. And the ones in the 'maters and zucchini ate holes in things. These are two very different worm types. Definitely caterpillars in the flowers, I seen't 'em.

Yeah it is, theres a term for it, something-cide.

The fucking caterpillars always went straight for the pistols lol.

its 100% organic, you're simply introducing a bacteria that is innert to humans-good luck growing a plant thats bacteria free. I stop spraying about a week before harvest. This stuff has literally saved me ounces.

BT is safe for humans even right up to harvest as far as I'm aware.

It is good for getting rid of fungus gnats.

It is also harmless to bees and most beneficial insects.
