Mode of Action: Bacillus Thuringiensis (B.t.)

The key to Safer Caterpillar Killer II's effectiveness lies in its use of Bacillus thuringiensis var. Kurstaki, a naturally occurring bacterium that is lethal to caterpillars and worms upon ingestion. Once applied to the foliage of plants, the bacterium is ingested by the target pests as they feed, causing them to stop feeding and ultimately perish. This targeted mode of action ensures that only the intended pests are affected, leaving beneficial insects unharmed.

Additionally, its selective action against caterpillars and worms means that beneficial insects such as pollinators and natural predators remain unharmed, contributing to a healthy and balanced ecosystem in the garden.

Application Guidelines

Safer Caterpillar Killer II should be applied in late afternoon or on cloudy days, as the B.t. bacterium breaks down in sunlight. This ensures maximum effectiveness of the product and minimizes the risk of degradation before the target pests ingest it. It is important to thoroughly coat the foliage of plants where caterpillars and worms are present, ensuring that the product comes into contact with the pests as they feed. Regular monitoring of plants for pest activity is recommended, and applications can be repeated as needed to maintain control.
