The active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (BTK), is a naturally occurring bacterium that targets leaf-eating caterpillars in the Lepidoptera order when ingested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a caterpillar chews treated foliage, the alkaline gut activates BTK’s endotoxin, disrupting the gut lining. The larva stops feeding and dies within one to five days. Early-stage larvae are most susceptible, so timely applications can help reduce damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBTK acts only on larval insects, so eggs, pupae, and adults are not directly affected. The product is non-toxic to birds, earthworms, honeybees, and many beneficial insects when used as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you gain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNatural, organic pest control: a non-synthetic option for gardens and edible crops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBroad caterpillar coverage: effective against cabbage worm, tomato hornworm, tent caterpillars, fall webworms, gypsy moths, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHarvest-friendly: approved for use on edible plants up to day of harvest in organic gardening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose Summit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis solution is OMRI-listed and made in the United States, designed for outdoor living spaces and home gardens.
