Monterey B.T. Pest Control

Yes. Because the active ingredient is a naturally occurring soil bacterium, it is considered safe for humans and pets when used according to the label instructions. It specifically targets the digestive systems of certain caterpillars and worms, leaving mammals unaffected.

No, and that is by design. This insecticide is selective, meaning it targets specific pests like caterpillars, loopers, cabbage worms, and leafhoppers. It is generally safe for beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs, making it a responsible choice for integrated pest management.

You will need to dilute the concentrate with water before use. A single 16-ounce bottle can be mixed to create up to 32 gallons of spray, which is plenty for most home vegetable gardens. Always check the label for the specific dilution ratio required for the pests you are targeting.

Absolutely. It is highly effective against the pests that commonly damage tomato crops, such as tomato hornworms and loopers. Because it is OMRI listed for organic gardening, it is a popular choice for edible crops.

For the best results, you should reapply after heavy rain or if you notice new pest activity. Since B.T. breaks down naturally in the environment, it does not leave long-lasting toxic residues, so regular maintenance applications are often necessary during peak pest season.
