Palm Seedling Moths: Bt for Larvae, Rotenone/Sevin for Adults

Tiny silver moths in palm seedling soil chewing new leaves = moth larvae. Bt (Dipel/MVP) kills larvae; rotenone or Sevin controls adults.

Program

  1. Bt soil drench or spray on seedlings.
  2. Yellow sticky traps for adults.
  3. Sanitation: remove infested soil/media.
  4. Repeat Bt weekly until moths gone.

Bt = organic, safe, specific to caterpillars.
