If you are watching your hard work get chewed to pieces by worms, loopers, or hornworms, do not panic and reach for harsh chemical sprays. I bought this Southern Ag Thuricide BT after a massive wave of hornworms completely stripped my tomato plants overnight, and it completely turned the battle around. It is a highly effective, natural bacterial solution that strikes the perfect balance between aggressively target-killing pests and being completely safe for beneficial insects. Here is my honest breakdown after treating my backyard garden. The Pros The biological targeting is incredibly precise. The active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis, only targets the digestive systems of caterpillars and worms that actively eat your treated leaves, meaning it will not harm honeybees, ladybugs, birds, or earthworms. A little bit goes an incredibly long way. The liquid concentrate is highly potent, requiring only one to two tablespoons per gallon of water, which makes a single 16-ounce bottle last for multiple growing seasons. It leaves absolutely no chemical residue on your food. Because it is a natural, soil-borne bacterium, it breaks down quickly in sunlight, allowing you to safely spray your vegetables right up to the very day of harvest. It acts remarkably fast once ingested. The caterpillars stop eating almost immediately after swallowing a treated leaf, meaning your plants are safe from further chewing damage even while the pests take a couple of days to fully perish. The Cons / Things to Know It requires strategic timing for the best results. Because sunlight breaks down the active bacteria over time, you need to spray your plants in the late afternoon or early evening so the caterpillars can consume it in the dark before the morning sun weakens it. It must be eaten to work. It is not a contact killer, so simply spraying a caterpillar directly will not do anything. You have to ensure thorough coverage on both the tops and bottoms of the leaves so they ingest it when they take their next bite. Final Verdict This is a premium-grade organic pest control solution at an unbeatable price point. Whether you are dealing with hornworms on tomatoes, cabbage loopers on broccoli, or bagworms on ornamental shrubs, this stuff holds up beautifully. I will definitely keep a bottle on hand every spring! Review: Effective and easy to use - If you have geraniums or petunias this is a must have. I spray it on at least once a week to keep the bud worms from eating the flower buds before they get a chance to bloom. I have tried many different things for this problem and this is the only stuff that works. Maybe ther is something else out there that works but they dont allow shipping to California. It is natural and won't kill the bees. ## Features - Size: 16 OZ - Thuricide BT Caterpillar Control concentrate is used by organic gardeners and is made from bacteria that is toxic to listed pests. - Safe to use on all plants, vegetables and edible crops. - Very low toxicity to humans and pets. - For large quantity discount consideration or to request a mixed multi-pack, please message us. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004QJ33B4 | | Active Ingredients | Bacillus Thuringiensis Subsp,Kurstaki Strain Sa-12 Solids,Spores,Lepidopteran Active Toxins | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,679 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #22 in Insect & Pest Repellent Spray Concentrates | | Brand | Southern Ag | | Brand Name | Southern Ag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,793 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 bottle | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Caterpillar Control | | Item Weight | 9.9 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 16 fluid ounces | | Manufacturer | Southern Ag | | Model Number | 13022 | | Part Number | 13022 | | Specification Met | OMRI | | Target Species | Caterpillar | | UPC | 051538130226 | ## Product Details - **Active Ingredients:** Bacillus Thuringiensis Subsp,Kurstaki Strain Sa-12 Solids,Spores,Lepidopteran Active Toxins - **Brand:** Southern Ag - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 9.9 ounces - **Liquid Volume:** 16 fluid ounces ## Images ![Thuricide BT Caterpillar Control, 16oz - Pint - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713gOaX04zL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If i have cabbage aphids on my broccoli plants and i have sprayed bt, will it kill the aphids when they eat the leaves?** A: All 4 of the current answers are nonsense. It kills caterpillars and worms and the moth or butterfly eggs which produce the caterpillars. It is harmlees to other types of insects and harmless to humans. You CAN spray this on edible vegetables. It is a bacteria and no more harmful to humans than acidophilus in yogurt. Search [organic spray for aphids]. I found a product called Organicide which is safe for bees, ladybugs (they eat aphids) and butterflys. It contains SESAME OIL as its active ingredient. Neem oil will control aphids and many other pests, molds, mildews and other fungi. However, Neem Oil has a nasty taste and smell. I wouldn't recommend spraying the actual florettes. **Q: Can this product be used as preventative measure and how often? Thank you!** A: Thuricide is based on a bacteria (or group of bacteria) that infect a variety of caterpillars. It takes 4 days for the caterpillars to die from the caterpillar, so reapplying less than 4 days is a waste. This is my 1st year with Thuricide. I found one large Tabacco Hook Worm on tomatoes. Applied Thuricide and never saw any more, live or dead. I applied more about 10 days later (there was a break in the daily rain), and again in about another 14 days. Never saw more caterpillars. So I quit applications. Just my observations. Not a study. **Q: does it kill beneficial bugs and worms** A: It kills caterpillars, some caterpillars grow up to be beautiful beneficial butterflies and others crop pest moths. Spray only on plants You want to protect and spray carefully. **Q: will it kill army worms** A: Yes, it will. It may take up to 4 days after application, and make sure there is no rain or sprinklers to wash it off or you'll have to reapply. The key is to make sure you are applying to the leaves, not necessarily the ground or the army worms. The formula must be on their food source so it can get into their digestive system. It basically kills from the inside out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute Lifesaver for Vegetable Gardens—Stops Caterpillars Cold Without Harming Bees *by G***R on May 26, 2026* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute Lifesaver for Vegetable Gardens—Stops Caterpillars Cold Without Harming Bees!
