How to Use
How it Works
Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki affects the insect's digestive system. The bacteria produce a toxic protein that paralyses the insect's gut. Once a caterpillar eats treated foliage, it stops eating but may take up to 3-4 days to die and drop from the leaf.
How to Use
DO NOT spray when conditions are hot, or when soil is dry and plants are suffering from moisture stress. The best time to apply is in late afternoon.
How to Prepare
Add required amount of Yates Nature's Way Caterpillar Killer into about half the required amount of water, agitate, then pour the rest of the water on top and shake or stir till thoroughly mixed. DO NOT mix more spray than is needed.
