The active ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (BTK), a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically affects caterpillar larvae in the Lepidoptera order. The product is easy to mix and apply via a standard hose-end sprayer, turning your garden into a careful defense against common pests without harsh chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBecause the product must be ingested for effect, the caterpillar stops feeding and eventually dies within 1 to 5 days after intake. The formulation is suitable for a wide range of pests, including cabbage worm, tomato hornworm, tent caterpillar, fall webworm, Gypsy moth, and other destructive caterpillar pests. It is a 100% natural alternative to synthetic insecticides and is OMRI-listed for organic gardening, offering peace of mind for gardeners growing fruits and vegetables at home. In practice, you may notice a quiet, leaf-like sheen on treated foliage as the spray dries, followed by a reduction in visible feeding damage over several days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it user-friendly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEasy to mix and apply using a standard hose-end sprayer, saving time and effort in the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSafe for birds, earthworms, honeybees, and ladybugs when used as directed and kept away from sensitive spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSpecifically targets caterpillars during the larval stage, reducing non-target exposure compared to broad-spectrum products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow to use for best results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply when caterpillars are actively feeding on leaves, preferably in the early instars for maximum impact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSpray foliage thoroughly until wet, ensuring coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces for ingestion by pests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eBecause Summit Caterpillar \u0026amp; Webworm Control is OMRI-listed and approved for use on edible crops, you can apply it up to the day of harvest.
