The caterpillars eat the leaves that have been treated withTOPBUXUS XenTari® treated. Via enzymatic degradation in the stomach of the caterpillar, the protein crystals of Bacillus thuringiensis are broken down into toxins.
Easy to use and seems to be effective. Despatch was swift too..
Easy to use and seems to be effective. The powder in the sachets readily disperses in water and is therefore easy to spray on the plants. Having sprayed my box plants when the product arrived two weeks ago I've not seen any new caterpillars, whilst my neighbour's bushes have been attacked again. Until now we've both been using 'Bug Clear' but it seems to have been only partially effective and have also been clearing by hand so I thought I would try this new product.
It seems a little pricy but you get 15 sachets, enough for 15 litres of spray. So far I've used two sachets. I'll spray again in a few weeks time and again in the early autumn as recommended.
Sachet size is perfect to spray my 8 buxus plants who all had the caterpillars on them.
Would have given 5 stars but really hoping that my plants will eventually revive caterpillars died within a couple of days.
It's great and yes it does work but in the end you have to consider if it's worth spending so much time and effort and money each year or just getting rid of the buxus now that the blight is widespread and vicious all over UK.
