Thanks. Some of the pesticides have such severe warnings. I’ll look up BT.

BT is not a chemical pesticide. It is used in organic methods. It is a Bacteria (Bacillus Thuringiensis) that destroys the guts of certain insects and catepillars. It is safe for people and other wildlife like birds. It is also considered safe for many beneficial insects. It is also used as a mosquito control in standing water.
