Sinsemillaplease Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 So I lost power for two days and when the lights came back on I was greeted by cutworms and leaf damage all over my vegging plants. What is most effective in eradicating cut worms? So far I've just been removing unneccessary branches and leaves that I should have already and removing leaves with eggs and/or worms attached. We've got Avid but don't know if that would be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinsemillaplease Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) It just ocurred to me that during my freshman year I did a research project on a bacterium called baccilus thuringiensis. It's a very effective caterpillar pesticide. Searched on amazon and found some for $11. It's harmless to anything but a worm. Hope this helps someone else.

Petyr Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 That's the ingredient in mosquito dunks. If you want some without waiting for amazon home depot has dunks for like $7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
