Greg what is BT? We are struggling with winter moth caterpillars and I sprayed them with alcohol/soap/water because the fruit trees are blossoming, so I don’t want to use anything non-organic.
Hi Pat:
I should have used Bt. That stands for Bacillus thuringiensis, a naturally occurring bacterium that has insecticidal properties, especially for worm-like
creatures. I have been using it for years to control cabbage worms. I recently discovered that it can be used to control green worms. I use a product
called “Green Step”. It is also available as “Thuricide”.
All the best,
Greg
