Safer Caterpillar Killer II Concentrate uses a naturally occurring bacterium to kill and control caterpillars and other leaf-eating worms that damage plants. The product contains Bacillus Thuringiensis var. Kurstaki (BT), a bacterium that caterpillars ingest while feeding on treated plants. Once consumed, the bacterium causes caterpillars and worms to stop feeding immediately and die within a few days.
