TOPBUXUS Anti Caterpillar is a biological insecticide on the basis of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki,

Dosage:
Dissolve 1 sachet (3 grams) of TOPBUXUS Caterpillar in 1 gallon of water, the resulting solution is sufficient for the treatment of up to 430 square feet of Boxwood.

Spray the plant's foliage completely with the solution as soon as caterpillars are detected. In case of a large infestation or heavy rainfall, repeat the treatment. Treatment preferably only at an outside temperature above 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Within a few hours after treatment, the caterpillars will stop their feeding. After 3-5 days they will die and fall off the plant.

The caterpillars eat the leaves that have been treated with TOPBUXUS Anti Caterpillar. Via enzymatic degradation in the stomach of the caterpillar, the protein crystals of Bacillus thuringiensis are broken down into toxins. These toxins bind to and penetrate receptors on the intestinal wall. The caterpillar is completely affected and eventually dies. Although it can take a few days for the caterpillar to die, the treatment with TOPBUXUS Caterpillar is very efficient and effective. 1 to 2 hours after the intake of TOPBUXUS Caterpillar the caterpillar stops eating, and so the damage done to the Boxwood is stopped as well. 
Please note: the caterpillars will only be affected after they ingest the treated leaves. Sometimes the caterpillars do not start feeding immediately, so they will not be affected but also cause no damage yet.

TOPBUXUS Anti Caterpillar is a biological insecticide that is not harmful to people or the environment. The natural enemies of the caterpillar, such as parasitic wasps, flies, bees and mites, are not affected by the product either.

Apply at a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit or above. If necessary, a second treatment could be carried out approximately 2 weeks later in order to stop the caterpillar infestation completely. Can be used in combination with TOPBUXUS Restore & Protect Mix, both products can be mixed together to tackle both the Boxwood Caterpillar and Boxwood Blight in 1 treatment.
