| |
The biological pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis is a beneficial bacteria applied as a spray to kill caterpillars. Sold under a variety of names such as Thuricide, Dipel, Bio-Worm, and others. Use Bacillus thuringiensis 'Israelensis' (Bti) in water for the control of mosquito larvae. Use Garrett Juice with Bt for extra benefit. Molasses at 1-2 oz. per gallon of spray also helps. It provides protein and keeps insect-killing bacteria alive on the foliage longer- even during rain. Bt 'San Diego' is good for Colorado potato bettle, elm leaf beetle, and other leaf-chewing beatles.
