Good to hear.This is my 7th season (Southern IA) and I've never seen these. I am using BT this year for the first time because I was getting leaf rollers.
There are a fair amount of moths here at night. Alright, I'll take precautions with BT. Thanks for the responses.They are in Michigan. If you see a lot of moths around, you are should probably take precautions.
What's the sevin dust for? Isn't the BT enough?I already have worms chopping on my leaves. time to break out the sevin dust. Once that's done I'm gonna start the BT applications. Little bastards.....I could already feel it. It's gonna be a long season with the early morning picking and spraying.
I already have it. And it works on more than just worms. I just came back from a local nursery right now. I bought some Tanglefoot to help prevent the little bastards from crawling up the stocks of the plants. I hope this shit works. It was only 6.50 but still.What's the sevin dust for?

I have some Tanglefoot products that I use with great success. They are a marvel for keeping ants out of the hummingbird feeders. However, you have to be very careful applying directly to plants. Most people don't do that. Tamglefoot makes a tree tape to put on your tree and then paint the Tree Tanglefoot on that (there are several Tanglefoot products). Weatherstripping applied and then encased in aluminum foil works well for this. I have not used it on my ladies because they are LST'd with multiple routes of entry, like stakes and tomato cages, fencing and wire. Besides it would not help with the moths who lay their eggs on the plants.I already have it. And it works on more than just worms. I just came back from a local nursery right now.

I have praying mantis'(contemplating actually ordering some) in my potted garden. I also have a bunch of tiny quarter size frogs in my planting bed. I see them every time I waterChecked my plants again tonight, and found another visitor on my plant this time. This one, however, I will gladly welcome. This visitor was a tiny tree frog. I guess you could call it a froglet. Must have just outgrown it's tadpole state within the past few days. The past two nights my windows have just been absolutely covered in these little guys; it's awesome. I live on a lake (more like a giant pond, but officially it's a lake). This gives me hope that I'll have some assistance in my pest control. I can't believe I forgot about all the frogs and toads in my yard. They've probably been helping all summer and I just haven't realized it.
my bottle says use within 24 hours.How long do you have to use mixed up BT if you mixed it up in a sprayer and say set it aside and ran into some hang ups but mean to come back and use that sprayer 2 days later..will the BT bugs die off in the sprayer ?
With stuff like that, I'll usually just spray it on my tomatoes and mix a new batch for the girlsHow long do you have to use mixed up BT if you mixed it up in a sprayer and say set it aside and ran into some hang ups but mean to come back and use that sprayer 2 days later..will the BT bugs die off in the sprayer ?
