5.0 out of 5 stars Smells awful but really works!, September 13, 2008

By	Catherine (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

I've had a huge problem with cabbage worms and other caterpillars destroying my herbs. While traditional chemical pesticides worked fairly well, I never felt all that comfortable eating my herbs after spraying them with those chemicals. When I read about BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), I thought it sounded too good to be true...a bacterium that kills caterpillars but is absolutely harmless to humans, pets, and bees. I'm so glad I tried Safer Brand Caterpillar Killer with BT! I sprayed my sad, moth-eaten herbs with BT a couple times a week for 2 to 3 weeks and I'm happy to say that there are no signs of caterpillars and my plants have really come back to life! The spray smells awful but the smell dissipates quickly and it works so I don't really care about the transient odor. I definitely recommend this product!

Caterpillers had completely distroyed my basil and were beginning to work on my plum trees whne the Safer arrived. I sprayed that night and everyotehr night for a week and there had not been anymore carterpiller damage. Love this stuff!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works Great!, May 21, 2008

By	K. L. Stone "maeven6" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used this for a long time but this year I tried something new and it worked. I began as soon as my squash started blooming. Every three days I would spray the stem with this product. I was faithful and my neighbor's squash on two sides all died due to squash vine borers, my test plant died too. However the squash I faithfully sprayed is still doing well. Vines up to an inch to inch and a half and no sign of borers!!! I don't need it for much else the birds keep my caterpillers away but those nasty borers nothing but this will seem to touch.

Now I don't know for 100% sure if it is the every three day hard spraying with the 16oz spray bottle, perhaps knocking the newly layed eggs off or it is the BT alone or a combination but whatever it is ... it works!!
