Natural & Organic Controls

Safer® Brand Garden Dust with B.T.

What?

B.t., Bacillus thuringiensis, can be successfully utilized in the control of bagworms. A product such as Safer® Brand Garden Dust with B.T. is the ideal solution to rid your plants of bagworms.

 

How?

Apply while the bagworm is in its early larval stages, since that is when the bagworm is most susceptible to the B.t. Carefully read and follow all instructions completely for safe and effective application.

 

When?

B.t. can be successfully utilized in the control of bagworms when it is applied while the bagworm is in its early larval stages towards the end of spring, right after the larvae have emerged and drifted to their new host plants. Carefully read and follow all instructions completely for safe and effective application.

Why Choose a Natural Solution?

Natural solutions break down quickly to their natural elements. They are preferable to chemical pesticides that leave residuals where they are sprayed causing long-term detrimental affects on the environment.

 

 

 

 

Natural Predators

There are a very few known natural predators of the bagworm. These predators are not usually sufficiently able to be control bagworms, especially in urban areas.

 

 

 

 

Environmental Controls

What?

Handpicking bagworms can help control them, especially in smaller areas such as landscape gardens and yards. Unfortunately, there are no other effective environmental options except removing the host plant to prevent the spread of bagworms to other plants in your yard or garden. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Garden Dust with B.T. will control your bagworm problem the organic way.... without using harmful chemicals.

 

When?

The best time to use Safer® Brand Garden Dust with B.T. for control of bagworms is in the afternoon or on a cloudy day since B.T. breaks down in direct sunlight.
