Ideal for fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and shade trees, this OMRI Listed® product is perfect for organic gardening.

The Power of Bacillus thuringiensis

Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) is a naturally occurring soil bacterium known for its effectiveness in controlling caterpillars and worms, including cabbage loopers, tomato hornworms, and gypsy moth larvae. Once ingested by pests, the bacteria release proteins that disrupt their digestive systems, causing them to stop feeding and eventually die. This targeted mode of action ensures that beneficial insects, pollinators, and other wildlife remain unharmed, making it a safer alternative to chemical pesticides.

By using B.t. as its active ingredient, Monterey B.t. Biological Insecticide provides an efficient yet environmentally responsible method to safeguard your plants.

Effective Pest Control for a Variety of Plants

Monterey B.t. is specially formulated to protect a wide range of plants from the damage caused by worms and caterpillars. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers looking to maintain healthy crops and gardens.

• Fruits: Protects apples, peaches, plums, and more from pests like codling moth larvae and fruit worms.
• Vegetables: Protects leafy greens, tomatoes, broccoli, and other crops from caterpillars and loopers.
• Ornamentals: Keeps flowering plants, shrubs, and decorative foliage free from defoliating pests.
• Shade Trees: Prevents damage from caterpillars like gypsy moths and tent caterpillars, preserving the health and beauty of your trees.

Whether you're growing for personal use or market sales, this product ensures your plants remain pest-free without compromising their safety or quality.

Safe for Edible Plants and Organic Gardens

One of the standout features of Monterey B.t. is its suitability for edible plants, even up to the day of harvest. Unlike many chemical pesticides that require a waiting period before crops are safe to consume, this biological insecticide is non-toxic to humans and animals when used as directed. This makes it an excellent choice for organic gardens and environmentally conscious growers.

Being OMRI Listed® (Organic Materials Review Institute) means that Monterey B.t. meets strict standards for organic gardening. You can use it confidently, knowing it aligns with organic farming principles while delivering effective pest control.

Easy-to-Use RTU Formulation

The ready-to-use (RTU) formulation eliminates the need for complicated mixing or dilution. Simply shake the bottle well, point, and spray directly onto the affected plants. The convenience of this pre-mixed solution saves time and effort, making it perfect for gardeners of all experience levels.

For optimal results, apply the product when pests are actively feeding, typically during the early morning or evening hours. Reapplication every 7-10 days ensures continued protection, especially during heavy infestations or periods of rapid pest activity.

Directions for Use

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
2. Spray generously onto leaves and stems, ensuring thorough coverage of all plant surfaces.
3. Repeat applications as needed, especially after heavy rain or irrigation.

By following these simple steps, you can achieve effective pest control while maintaining a healthy and thriving garden.
