tendencies? The reason I ask is because Bougainvillea Loopers and Cabbage Loopers seem to look the same and there are a ton of articles on how to kill Cabbage Loopers yet not a whole lot on Booger loopers...
Just curious...
Thanks!
Do Bougainvillea Loopers and Cabbage Loopers have the same..
Here is some info from UCDavis on Bougainvillea looper control

Loopers? A science fiction movie?
Aha! Is that what was munching on my Bougi last summer? I've never seen any damage on a bougainvilla aside from freeze or rats stripping the bark, until this past summer. If it's a looper, I would think BT ( baccillus thuringiensis) should solve the problem. Just a guess.
Yup...they recommend Bt for the young larvae and Spinosad for both young and mature worms.
My new and all time favorite spray says it will take care of them.

Ah yes...birth control for bugs....grin We have used Torus with fenoxycarb before.
