Dipel is a brand name. The scientific name is Bacillus
thurigencis or
something like that. It is also some times sold as Thuricide.
Be careful where
you buy it and how it is stored. especially in a warm climate
or warm weather.
The active ingredient are live spores of a bacteria, but they
don't live
forever and heat tends to shorten their life span.

Yes. Apply in the late afternoon or evening. BT sprayed in the
a.m. won't survive to the p.m. in summer (when caterpillars are
active). Caterpillars are more active at night, anyway.
