How does it compare to BT?

Sprayed on foliage, it works like BTK, poisoning caterpillars that feed on the leaves. It is more effective and generally lasts about twice as long as BT on tree leaves: BT stays effective on a tree for about 7 to 10 days, while Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad stays effective for about 3 to 4 weeks.

How do I apply it?

Apply the concentrate with a trigger, hand-held or hose-end sprayer. It is not a synthetic chemical but a bacterial product made by fermentation. It is fast acting and odorless.
