B.t. a natural insecticide that does not kill insects quickly but in a day or two.
It kills ONLY the larvae (grub or worm form) of adult insects that become moths or butterfly pests. Most adult forms of moths that are garden pests do their damage in the larva stage, not the adult. The primary mission of the adult is to mate and lay eggs.
