Please don't use Bacillus thuringiensis to control hornworms or any other insect.

The spores of BT are carried into the environment and continue to kill our native species for generation after generation.

We have lost 99% of the butterfly population in some area in the last 50 years, BT is the most obviouus culprit, even more responsible than habitat loss.
