OT: Cabbage Worm Spray

El Toro · Jul 6, 2008

Anyone have a good recipe for cabbage worms? Sevin doesn't work well. I hear garlic juice and ped pepper powder works well. I need something fer the Fall planting. Hal

Should be red pepper powder. Hal

If you can find it buy some Admire. It will get them.

Dipel is a safe bacteria- based insecticide that works well for cabbage and tomato worms. (BT)

I have fun shooting the yellow butterflys with a 20 ga with a lite load of # 9 shot. Wish I could get some # 12. Don't laugh, they are hard to hit the way they flutter around! And you have to control your shots so you don't destroy any garden plants. Garden dust helps control the worms.

Dipel works great - worms get sick within a day, (and stop eating) turn black and die within 3 days. Works good on tomato hornworms too.

I heard that salt water worked. Never tried it but if you do let me know.

dipel powder or thuricide liquid. both the same thing and it works great on cabbage and tomato worms.

Thanks to everyone that responded. I will try that Dipel on the Fall crop. Hal
