  • Asked by Sharon from Jacksonville, Fl
    06/15/2016
    Q
    Is thuricide considered organic?
    I have an organic garden.
    A

    Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)? (in the pest control form it is known as Thuricide) is a naturally occurring bacterium found in soils throughout the world. The Hi Yield Thuricide Concentrate is not organically certified and therefore would not be appropriate for an organic garden. However, we do offer the Southern Ag Thuricide BT Caterpillar Control which is OMRI certified and would be the appropriate Thuricide product for your organic garden. Be sure to read the Product Label before use.

    Q
    How do I protect hummingbirds from an application of Natural Guard Caterpillar Killer Spray with Bt?
    A

    Natural Guard Caterpillar Killer Spray with Bt contains naturally occurring bacterium found in soils throughout the world that is not labeled to harm songbirds, other birds, wildlife or beneficial creatures when used as directed on the product label.  It is best to apply when they are not in the area and hope they do not return until dry.  Once the product has dried, it only has a toxicity level of that to kill something as small as an insect, and only those specific insects on the label.

  • Asked by Debra from Lagrange, Ga
    12/22/2011
    Q
    Can thuricide concentrate be used as a drench to kill fungus gnat larve in house plants?
    A
    Thuricide concentrate is actually not labeled for fungus gnat larvae and so we are not sure of how effective it would be.  However, we do sell a product called Talstar One which is what we have always recommended for fungus gnats and works great.  You should also place your plants outside to dry out a little bit or cut down on how often you water them, if possible, and this will also decrease the fungus gnat reproduction cycle.
