- The secret to pest control is to keep an eye on your plants, so that you can detect pest caterpillars early. After a while you will become familiar with what caterpillar damage looks like. If you find damage, you should have a closer look to see if you can find some caterpillars and work out what they are.
- The product is based on naturally occurring bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis) which acts as a stomach poison against caterpillars. The product will only affect caterpillars, so your ‘good bugs’ are safe.
Signs of a caterpillar problem:
