What pesticide works well for controlling caterpillars?

Caterpillars are often seen in crop fields. If you accidentally touch them, you will feel pain and itching, which is very uncomfortable. So what pesticide works better on caterpillars?

1. Insecticides

Insecticides can eliminate most pests. It can be said that using insecticides basically produces immediate results and is very effective, but we all know that insecticides contain certain toxins, so they must be used with caution. Especially when there are children and elderly people at home, it is best not to use them. If you must use insecticides, everyone should go out for a while.

2. Pyrethroid products

Actually, using pyrethroid products is still relatively good. Why is that said? Because pyrethroid products can have a contact-killing effect. Used once, they can basically completely eliminate caterpillars. Remember that when using pyrethroid products in general, you must clearly check the dosage. You cannot use too much, which is also for your own safety.

3. Eliminate with natural enemies

Everyone knows that chickens can eat insects and are also natural enemies of caterpillars. If you raise chicks at home, you can let the chickens eliminate caterpillars, which kills two birds with one stone. But when using chickens to eliminate caterpillars, you need to pay attention that the chicks will also peck everywhere, which will affect the normal growth of plants.

4. Ask gardening services for help in eliminating them

If the caterpillar infestation covers a large area or is difficult to eliminate, you should ask the relevant departments for help. You can call your local gardening staff to help you eliminate the caterpillars.

5. Sun exposure

Actually, this method is not effective for some caterpillars, but for most of them it still has some effect. Sometimes we see many caterpillars in flower pots. In fact, if you use medicine or insecticides, it will cause some damage to the flowers, so moving the flower pot under the sun and letting it get some sun may make it better.

Caterpillars are troublesome pests. If you are accidentally stung by a caterpillar, handle it promptly to avoid affecting your health.
