A number of folks have been calling wanting to order one or more of our Trichogramma spp. miniwasps hoping to control caterpillars. Unfortunately, Trichogramma spp. are moth egg parasitoids and thus don’t control caterpillars, at least not directly. Of course there are other options, large predatory bugs like the spined soldier bug (Podisus maculiventris) can impact local caterpillar populations. But one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to deal with caterpillars is to use one of our Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) formulations. And to make Bt even more cost-effective, for a limited time we’re discounting selected products. It’s time to stock up!
This sale is effective until the ordering deadline on August, 6th 2010, and will apply to orders placed by phone, fax, or made online. Please note, though, that the special pricing is good only for orders shipped no later than August, 13th, 2010 (unless there is a delay on our end). The following formulations are on sale:
- Bt Dipel 150 Dust - Sprinkle on or use duster.
- Dipel .86 WP Wettable Powder* - Mix with water and spray.
- Bt Liquid Concentrate - Mix with water and spray.
*Note: Dipel .86 WP is a closeout item and on sale only while supplies last.
