Southern Ag Thuricide BT Caterpillar Control, 16oz - Pint

My Eastern Red Cedar is a favorite of bagworms. There were no problems until some nitwits cutting down a nearby Boxelder Maple dumped the huge stumps right next to the Cedar in my front yard, and left them there for several days. The damage to my lawn was bad enough, then later I noticed what looked like dinky pinecones hanging all over the lower branches. But cedars grow little blue berries, not pinecones. So what the heck were these things? A bit of research told me that bagworms will live inside the bark of Boxelder Maples. But with the stumps lying right next to the cedar tree, its pungent aroma attracted the bagworms like moths to a flame. I manually pulled off literally hundreds of bagworm sacks, which must be physically destroyed to prevent reinfestation. I noticed they had decimated the foliage on the lower branches. Literally stripped them bare. Bagworms will destroy entire trees if not eradicated. For months afterward, I kept looking for those little pinecone things, finding ones here and there once in a while. I was pleased to see the bare branches regrowing their foliage. Now I keep a lookout for not only visible sacks, but any indication of damage.Not content with simply removing the visible bags, I bought this anti-caterpillar product. The entire 20 foot tall tree was thoroughly sprayed several times, yet there’s still enough left in the bottle for a couple more applications. Over the summer, after spraying the tree in the spring, I noticed wasps investigating the tree for several months. Clearly they were searching for tiny insects and such, so I let them do their thing. Whether bagworms or some other pest, they were welcome to eat whatever they could find. Unlike hornets, wasps tend to be relatively docile. They aren’t interested in people or animals; they just want to eat every bug they can find.In spring, I plan to spray the entire tree every few weeks until I run out of product. This stuff doesn’t harm other insects, just bagworms and other unwelcome caterpillars. Anything hurting my tree by feasting on it must die! (Birds and rabbits and stuff are more than welcome to eat the berries, though. Bon appétit!)

The white cabbage butterfly is one of the biggest pests in my garden. If left unchecked, my kale plants are reduced to lacework in a matter of days by the voracious larvae of the butterfly.So simple to use: just fill your sprayer with water , add the Thuricide and spray. Does need to be repeated if it rains-- but this stuff really does the job. My kale plants are back to being pristine!

I live in the Deep South, so I have a unique set of garden pests.I used this for bean leaf roller caterpillars, the larval stage of the long tailed skipper butterfly.Although the butterfly is beautiful, I would have had zero beans if I had let them mature.I also used it on my tomatoes for tomato horn worm.The product is an organic control of any caterpillar. I mixed it in a garden sprayer and sprayed all sides of the plants.The caterpillars were dead the next day.It will have a be re-applied, as this butterfly is active all summer here.

Had worms just destroying my grapes and other things but since using this a few times they are doing really well. No more slaughtered leaves .takes a few times of steady use so don’t think it doesn’t work after the first time and you still see the damage. It’ll slow down

The media could not be loaded. Southern AG THURICIDE BT is also effective in controlling the gnat larvae in the potted indoor plants. I use it in conjunction with neem oil.

I buy this every spring and it lasts me most of the season! I prefer this brand and usually cannot find it in my local big box stores. In my experience this works perfect for anything that chomps the leaves, not only caterpillars.

I like the concentrated more bc the other ones….the smell is putrid. But the concentrate once in water is not that bad. So far it’s working.

Works like a charm every time.
