I am looking at getting some BT this year to treat for pickle worms. I know there are a variety of BT products out there. Can anyone recommend the most natural of the BT products?

Most natural BT product?
Erin - You need the one that will kill caterpillars. Here's a link to the one I use:

Thanks! I'm checking it out.

I bought some thuricide last summer, then realized my worms were monarch caterpillars, so I haven't used it yet. How many years does it keep?
Good question. I just got some thuricide today actually, from a source I trust. Big box stores aren't known tobe very organic, natural or health friendly.

given the kind of caterpillars I have, unless I see webworms again, I probably won't use my thuricide at all.
Gypsi, I had some Bt concentrate for caterpillar treatment and it seemed effective for a couple years. 2-3...
I have been picking my fake monarch caterpillars for 2 days, they are grapevine skeletonizers.. Will spray with thuricide after the rain passes... Thank you Sally, for your reply
Army worms are chewing up my tomatoes, swiss chard, broccoli, collards, etc. I sprayed them, but the rain washed it away. I sprayed again and think I got a lot of them, but there are still some alive. I need to spray again. Just can't stay ahead of all the rain.
