Hi fellow gardeners,

Can someone tell me whether there are some organic pesticed or some home
made organic formala pestice to kill caterpillars on thyme?
I don`t like to use chemical pesticide because of the toxicity it leaves in
the plant for a long time & because of the risk of contaminating ourself
while spraying or risk of harming domestic animals like cats or dogs.

Is there one such pesticide that is not harmful to pets or humans?

Thanks in advance for any help you will be giving me.

Ther are several insecticides that are not particularly harmful to pets or
humans. However the biological agent Bt is probably the best for caterpillars.
Brand names are Dipel and Thuricide. Note, however, that it will kill all
butterfly or moth larvae that feed on the plants.
