It will not impact friendly insects such as bees, ladybugs and earthworms when used as directed.

How to Use Safer Caterpillar Killer

The application will go most smoothly if people follow these guidelines. Here’s how to use Safer Caterpillar Killer step-by-step:

1. To ensure it is working, apply Safer Caterpillar Killer in the late afternoon or on overcast days. This way, the sun doesn't break down the product easily, and gives the materials more time to work.
