Spraying

Question

Is spraying for webworms safe after the fruit is already visible? What should I use?

Answer 1

Thuricide can be sprayed on any plant, vegetable or fruit without posing a hazard. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is another option. Since this is a selective insecticide, it kills tent caterpillars while remaining safe to humans.
