This 1-gallon concentrate contains spinosad, a natural substance produced by a soil bacterium. It can be used on ornamentals, vegetables, fruits.

Biological insecticides are non-synthetic, meaning they break down rapidly, reducing the likelihood of harming any animals besides the box caterpillars themselves. Normally, this leaves any native birds or bees out of harm’s way.Caterpillar infestation is one of the biggest problems that organic farmers face in some areas, like Australia and Florida. If left alone, they can cause a lot of damage. Box caterpillars are the larvae stage of the box tree moth, so they are also commonly known as box tree moth caterpillars.

TOPBUXUS Xentari is the best biological insecticide for the job. After using this on my box hedge in the past, the caterpillars stopped eating the treated leaves within several hours, and the damage rapidly reduced as the caterpillars began to die off (within a couple of days). The final control method is a chemical (or “synthetic”) insecticide. I don’t typically use or recommend chemical insecticides due to the potential damage they can do to other animals and plants.Once your cat is reliably using the litter box for spraying, you can gradually move it to a location that works better for you. But keep in mind your cat chose that spot for a reason. If there's still a trigger in that area (a cat outside the window, for example), they may continue spraying there after you move the litter box. Finding the trigger is key if you're unable to keep a litter box in that spot. It worth emphasizing that greenhouse owners have more reasons to bother with caterpillars because crops cultivated in such kind of structures are more vulnerable to these pests than crops grown in the open air. This is mainly due to the absence of pests’ natural enemies inside greenhouses that under natural conditions assist in caterpillar control. But this is not enough though. While birds feeding on these pests and wasps parasitizing their eggs is helpful, this is certainly no substitute for sustainable pest control. Bear in mind that openings in a greenhouse serve as entry points for moths which usually penetrate the structure in summer to lay eggs there. When hatched, the pests can chew on many kinds of plants and vegetables typically grown in greenhouses. Has something changed in my cat's environment or routine that could be causing concern, stress, or fear? A new pet, a new baby, a change in your work schedule, a recent vacation, construction inside or outside, a feeding schedule shift, etc., can all cause distress.
