bag worms
By Carolyn on 09/04/2015
I have used DiPel for years, a little goes a long way. I love my conical shrubs and trees, but sometimes they get bagworms. One spray usually gets rid of them all. It is not so easy to pick bag worms off a 12 to 25 foot tree, so I put the Dipel in a sprayer and spray them. It is comforting to know that this insecticide does not harm the beneficial insects or the wildlife, including birds, butterflies, etc.

Wettable powder is the best form of Bt.
By Mark on 07/24/2014
Verified Purchase
Dipel wettable powder is the most economical, effective and long storing alternative for delivering Bt (Bacillus thuringensis) where you need it. Stored properly, it keeps for years. I used it on my sweet corn this year, and it produced almost 100% control of corn earworms. Also used it on my broccoli, which is almost impossible to grow here in the south without Bt to keep cabbage wing moths and loopers under control. I highly recommend this product.

Treatment for Wax Moths in Supers
By Richard on 08/31/2012
Verified Purchase
I am a Bee Keeper and store my Supers for the winter. The Supers have drawn out Comb which Wax Moths like. They will tunnel and destroy honey comb being stored. I spray each side and stack them 5 high and cover with a hive top. I don't have any problem with Wax Moths when using this product. This chemical is also naturally found in Honey and is not harmful to the bees. I just let the supers air for 3 days before putting them on a hive.

Another use of DF Biological Insecticide
By Richard on 09/21/2012
Verified Purchase
After I extract the Honey from my Supers I let the bees clean up the frames of Cone. For storing the Wax Cone overwinter I spray a mist of DF on the frames and wax. It keeps the Wax Moths out of my Wax Foundations. Frames with Drawn out cone is very expensive. Thanks.

Awesome
By Debbie on 11/03/2015
The only systemic insecticide that we are aware of that is labeled for bagworms is Bonide Systemic Insect Control with Acephate but it is only labeled for use on shade trees and you must spray all of the foliage to get the desired results.Below you will see what we usually recommend for bagworm control.
Bagworm recommendations:
It is important to start control methods before a major infestation occurs. Once the bagworms have matured and have formed the "bag" most chemical control methods will no longer work.
You can manually control bagworms by simply plucking them off of the infested trees and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water or squishing them. This control method is most useful during fall, winter and early spring, before the eggs inside the bag have hatched.
Chemical control may be achieved when the larvae are small and just emerging from the over-wintering bag. Use a concentrated liquid insecticide such as Talstar or Tempo. Foliage should be thoroughly wetted with the insecticide spray in order to achieve thorough coverage. When doing an insecticide treatment, timing is key. To find out the correct time of year to treat for bagworms in your region contact you local Cooperative Extension office. These offices can prove to be invaluable when treating for insect pests.

I do have a one-gallon sprayer available, when and how should product be applied? There are no clear instructions on the paperwork. Also, the print is too small to read. Thanks for your help.
Below is a link to the Dipel PRO DF Biological Insecticide so that you can see the instructions in larger print. Depending on the reason you are using the product you will use 1/2 tsp - 4 tsp per gallon of water. You can apply this product using a sprinkling can or hand pump sprayer.

I bought some last fall. Do I need to re-buy? I still have plenty but I wonder if this stuff looses effectivenes
DiPel PRO DF Biological Insecticide will have a three year shelf life if stored away from extreme temperatures and in the original packaging for the most effective control. If you purchased last year, the product should be effective now as long as it has not been wet or obtained moisture during storage.

I am confused.....do I mix this with water or apply it as is through a dry sprayer? The enclosed directions are printed so small they are hard to read. Everything is listed except directions for usage. Please help before the bugs infest my gooseberries and red currents again this year.
