The most organic home-made pesticide that can remove caterpillars on thyme
and kill them is an animal called Homo sapiens. The beast actually has the
ability to see the insect larvae and pull them off of the plants using their
four fingers and opposable thumb. Absolutely no chemicals are necessary!!
You could even do it yourself!!! Check it out!!!

The only problem is that the animal is well known to be extremely
destructive to humans, harm pets and pollutes the environment. They even
have the ability to destroy the whole planet. So maybe using one is not a
good idea after all?

Sorry, can't help you after all. What you ask is impossible.

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.
