Are yates the only makers of dipel?

Dipel is the brand name, so yes, they are the only ones.. Bacillus thuringiensis is the active constituent, so perhaps try a search for that online.

is dipel a BT product that kills the bugger from the gut after eating it?

this product is what the big box Lowes here in the states sell

the gnat stuff or the mosquito dunks work better under the soil i believe, i dont know what to do, ive had about 15 casualties to the cutworm on my banana peppers. how the hell do they know where my plant is with bark mulch around it!? they do tho, the dirt garden has foil wrapped plants now

It's the only one I can find. Usually in the "B" store.
. . .and it works.

Cheers IanK.

Not sure of that EB... we bought this through a rural supplies place...

Only thing is that this is the smallest size in this brand (500g)

Hmmm, Ok, I wonder who owns the Registered name of Dipel then?

I guess that's why Yates have changed their packaging fairly recently to push more of the "Natures way - caterpillar killer". They used to just call it Yates Dipel.

yeah i was looking around for who owned the 'trade name' dipel and theres just not much info so far. probably monsanto

If it is monsanto I would be tempted to just kill the grubs by hand

i feel ya mantis.

alot of us have that same sentiment i bet.

edit, i think this is the dipel guys. i like learning a companies background, sounds like tomorrow nights lesson, gnight world
