Monterey Pt B.t. Bacillus thuringiensis Biological Insecticide BT

Monterey Pt B.T. Bacillus Thuringiensis Biological Insecticide BT B.T. is an inexpensive, easy-to-apply form of pest control for caterpillars and leaf-mining larvae. It is OMRI-listed for organic gardening and can be used on ornamentals, fruits, vegetables, and shade trees. It gets the job done without putting beneficial insects such as ladybugs and bees, or the environment, at risk.

How It Works

Monterey Pt B.t. Bacillus Thuringiensis Biological Insecticide Bt- (Bacillus thuringiensis) is a naturally occurring bacterium found in soils and on plants and has been safely used worldwide for decades as a method of controlling insect pests. The bacterium produces toxins in the caterpillar gut, which interferes with digestion and causes the caterpillar to stop feeding and eventually die.

The good thing about this insecticide is it only kills pests such as caterpillars and moth larvae, while other insects in your garden will be protected. It's one less toxic chemical in your organic garden without over killing everything.

How to Apply

Using Monterey Pt B.T. Bacillus Thuringiensis Biological Insecticide BT is easy-to-use and simple. Here are the steps you should follow:

1. As instructed on the label, mix the material. Usually, there are two fluid ounces of concentrate for every three liters of water.
2. Apply a mist to the upper and lower leaves of the afflicted plants. This is to ensure that when the bugs eat the leaves, they will ingest the poison.
3. For best results, apply treatments during the cooler hours—ideally early in the morning or in the evening. By doing this, the solution won't evaporate too quickly.
4. Because rain can wash the solution off the surface, repeat the procedure every five to seven days or during periods of heavy precipitation.
