This will lose potency in sunlight so I respray about every three days. Or after a hard rain or if I have to run the overhead sprinklers. This is a must have for anyone that grows tomatoes and is a natural way to kill the caterpillars that will kill your plants in just a few hours. This arrived on time and I was waiting for the mail, since heat will kill the BT if it gets too hot I did not want it to set for hours in a hot mailbox, it smelled like the last few bottles I have bought and worked as it should one bite feeding stops and the caterpillars die. Keep it in a cool place to keep the BT alive. This works well and I am happy with the results no damage and dead caterpillars with no harm to the good bugs in my garden.
PROS
Natural Caterpillar Killer
Mix with cool water
Easy to apply
Kills with one bite
None harmful to beneficial insects.
CONS
None at this time this arrived fresh and is killing the caterpillars.
I bought this at full price with no discount, and did not have to review, but I like to review and I also count on reviews to help me make my purchase choice, so full price or discount I will always leave an honest review. Discounts are way too easy to find online so never any extra stars for a discount. Update 4/16/2021 I buy a fresh bottle every year. Got this early glad I did, just bought a new apple tree and had it on the porch looked and saw some holes in the leaves. And yup found a small catipllier on a leaf, went in got out my sprayer mixed some from my fresh bottle sprayed the tree and saw a dozen more start to move, next day no more damage to the tree and a dead small catipillers on the leaves. I have tried other brands but have found this one works the best. I have also poured any left over into some standing water full of mosquito larva came back a few hoyrs later and they had died.
This is how I got rid of fungus gnats;
used Bonide Systemic granules on top of the soil for all houseplants and then watered all plants.
When the very top of the soil was dry I covered the soil in each pot with Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. (I also sprinkled the DE inside the trays that the plant pots sat in, and inside all cache pots.)
This did two things - killed gnat larvae inside the soil, ripped to shreds and dehydrated adult fungus gnats going into the soil or crawling around in the trays or cache pots, and killing anything taking a bite out of my plants. Using both completely eradicated fungus gnats by stopping their life cycle. They should be sold as a set.
Lessons learned
1: 30 day quarantine with added Bonide Systemic for all new plants coming into the house.
2: always check new plants at the store before buying... tip them out of their pots and look for bugs while checking root health
3: tap on pots at the store. If fungus gnats are present that will disturb them and they'll fly about.
And in using it on my cole crops this summer, I found that I solved the problem of leaves being all chewed up by those little green worms. It was so nice to see the plants staying full and vigorous and able to produce the largest possible heads (since the health of the plant determines the fruit), and I no longer found lots of green worms in the broccoli after cooking it (since you can't see them really well on the broccoli), but I also didn't need to feel guilty about my pesticide!
I did find I had to be careful not to spray near the bees, which wasn't easy.
Unfortunately there isn't really a pesticide for the white moths that lay the eggs beyond catching them in nets, or blasting them with soapy water (that worked pretty well, actually), if you have the time, so getting the worms is the next best thing. I did find that I had to include a "spreader-sticker", which I fortunately already had, but I am told that adding some soap works too.
It's just that you do have to repeat this spraying every week, and that's another time-consuming chore, but I know that by killing all those worms, I should have far fewer moths next year, etc.
