How Do I Get Rid Of Caterpillars Feeding Off My Corn? by Moneyboyz: 9:18am On Apr 26, 2022 |
I have a small farm at the back of my house but it's infested by caterpillars, I'm not a farmer so I have no experience on how to fight these pests. Please I need suggestions on what to do. I've been picking them off manually but it's a lot of work, the most annoying thing is that in just 2 days you find another one or more caterpillars on same plant you picked days ago. I need a total remedy before these things finish my plants. |

use Caterpillar force to get rid of them. You can get it from any agric chemical shop around you. Alternatively you can try Ariel detergent with baking soda. Add water and spray inside the maize plant. 1 Like |

Any pesticide with emamectin benzoate e.g caterpillar force. If you have a bit more cash alternate it with ampligo every 2weeks until eradicated. Spray early morning/ evening when they are active. |

Moneyboyz:You may not have diluted the caterpillar force in the right ratio. You may have applied too much. 2 Likes |
