I've noticed we seem to have lacy cabbage & broccoli leaves this year; cabbage looper!! I'm looking for a safe and effective way of treating the problem without using harmful pesticides. With our economy in a crisis & food prices soaring, a productful garden is a must have! Would love to try your product! Thank you. I finally figured out what destroyed my garden last year!

Last year those greenies got all my beans and mint. I just read about humidity chambers (covering the garden with plastic) which may prevent the loppers from laying eggs and help conserve water. I'm going to try this along with a healthy dose of this insecticide. My green pepper leaves are starting to look a little lacy, however I couldn’t find the worm on any part of the plant.

Today I got home from work and there were holes on all of the leafs. We took a leaf with six loopers on it, and put it in a capped jar. They have been in that jar for 6 hours now and that leaf is demolished! I would love to try this. I noticed some spots on the leafs of my plants a few days ago.

I thought at first that it was the leaf cutter ants. But upon careful inspection I found the loop worm. I was worried about dusting with Seven because they are already starting to head and I don't want the dust down in the head. I went to my farmers corp. but they didn't have anything. I would sure like to try your product and if you can tell me of an outlet close to Natchitoches, Louisiana I would go purchase the product now. Thanks for the info.

I've noticed my cabbage is starting to look "holey". I'm thankful that they are not the disgusting tomato hornworm, but know that is to come as I'm putting out about 20 plants, most of which are out. I use companion planting techniques, but even those are not working well. My basil, borage and marigold I set out near the peppers, tomatoes and spinach is starting to be munched on. At first I thought it was slug/snail damage. I've found a few and gotten them, but now have found the little green guys in process of chomping up my garden. I'm not sure how long it takes for BT to work. I'm am also unsure as the effectiveness of the spray on cabbage that is heading (2 of mine are almost ready to cut). I hope I don't loose them, they will be my first! Well, yesterday I found 2 of these little nasty green inchworm-type cabbage loopers; today I found one on some spinach I cut and brought in.

I cannot get rid of the cabbage loopers/caterpillars in my fall garden. I’ve searched the web for answers but nothing seems to help. I’ve been religiously spraying Neem all over my garden every few days. I’ve handpicked the caterpillars off and I sprayed the backs of all my plants to try to kill the eggs. It seems that every time it rains an unbelievable amount of caterpillars hatch out and destroy my garden within hours. I’m wondering if the caterpillar eggs are in the ground. If so, how do I get rid of them? Help! I cannot get rid of the cabbage loopers/caterpillars in my fall garden. I’ve searched the web for answers but nothing seems to help.
