ONE PINT TREATS UP TO 10,875 SQ.FT.
Thuricide is used to control caterpillars as needed. It a that is easy to mix and apply. Apply by hose or pressurized sprayers, mist blowers, or aerial application, 1/2 tsp to 4 tsp/gal of water depending on extent of infestation. Even a little squirt bottle may be used. We recommend that you get an ID on the caterpillar you are treating for. We don't want to kill the caterpillars that will turn into beautiful butterflies. The easiest way to use it is to just spray the specific plants you want to protect like your tomatoes for tomato hornworms. If you have planted dill to feed the Swallowtail caterpillars or milkweed to feed the Monarch larva- don't use dipel on these plants.
