What I read about this extremely toxic product is it is a systemic and should be applied to the soil to be taken up into the trees vascular system. This is known to be toxic to honeybees and other insects as well as many species of birds and aquatic life.

Breaking out the big guns before proper identification is irresponsible, and for one caterpillar web?

Looks like we have some Caterpillar huggers. They are destroying my vegetable garden and fruit trees. I don't raise Vegetables and fruits to sell it and to become billionaire. I raise them for food. You rather have the Caterpillar eat my vegetables and Fruits and let my kids starve. The dam thing even go in my children clothes and scare the hell out of them. I love the environment too but there is a reasonable balance.

o You sprayed something that you didn't know would work on something that you didn't know what it was. It is obvious you didn't read the label. If you had, you'd have seen not only are caterpillars not listed, but the product is a soil drench rather than a spray.

o Pointing out that this is irresponsible behavior isn't caterpillar-hugging, it is pointing out an example of several levels of irresponsible behavior: - Spraying something willy-nilly.
- Not reading the label.

HTH.

Also, spraying ANYTHING is not particularly effective against any species of tent caterpillars. The webbing is very protective.

Use a strong stream of plain water to break open the web so that the large number of predators and parasitic insects can control these caterpillar for you.

You might want to use some of your negative energy towards taking some pictures of these horrid insects so that we can identify them properly for you. It doesn't take too much effort to find out WHO the pest is and HOW to best control it. What you've done is useless, irresponsible, and just plain wrong.

This oil-based product may be used as a growing season spray, dormant spray (no leaves) or delayed dormant (green tip) spray to control overwintering eggs and other insects. Highly recommended for use on fruit trees, shade trees, shrubs, ornamentals, roses and vegetables.

Application: Dilute 2-8 oz/gal. of water depending upon infestation. Apply every 7-14 days as needed. Apply enough liquid per plant to wet entire surface. Give special attention to underside of plant. Will not stain. Crop-specific instructions included.
===============================
Here are the instruction on using Bonide. It did not say it is a soil spray. It says wet the plant.

The info provided was scant, and the Bonide site returns this product with the search function, so it is natural for us to talk about this product.

Esp as subsequent info doesn't list name of product.

A. Don't assume anyone is a caterpillar hugger.

They are destroying my vegetable garden and fruit trees.
B. You said nothing about them "destroying" in your initial post.
