It's a bacillus which means bacteria

BTi is made for natural mosquito control on standing water but is effective to disrupt the cycle of fungus gnats too. When they eat the bacteria (found in mosquito dunks and other products) it messes up their eggs and larvae.

Didnt know it worked on caterpillars.

Actually, I do use the BTI for fungus gnats, that is what is in my Gnatrol WDG by Valent. It works by mixing with water and watering soil in the top of the plant pots, it kills the fungus gnat larvae. I learn something new every day!

[Fatboy]

@Dirtbag said btk is for caterpillars and bti is for fungus gnats.

Yes. Btk for caterpillars...I agree fully

 

[TerriR]

Yes. Btk for caterpillars...I agree fully

next question: do you use btK during flowering?

 

[Dirtbag]

can you get Naturalyte?

Pretty sure that's a nope too. Its unreal what we cant get here, a short list but I'm sure there are others;
Spinosad
Imidacloprid
orthene
regalia
botanigard
Those are all regulated pesticides you need a license to purchase and need to prove to the governing body what you are using it on.

I guess you guys need to go to the screenhouse thread and help me figure that out then! I would prefer not to use anything myself...
