Targeted Pest Control

Javelin WG targets a variety of pests including armyworms, codling moths, cutworms, fruitworms, and more. Its unique formulation is specifically effective against lepidopterous larvae, ensuring that these pests are controlled efficiently.

Mode of Action

The active ingredient in Javelin WG is Bacillus thuringiensis, subspecies kurstaki strain SA-11. This natural bacterium must be ingested by the larvae to be effective. Once consumed, it causes the pests to stop feeding within an hour and leads to their eventual death, usually within several days.

Its organic composition ensures safety for animals and the surrounding ecosystem.

Application and Dosage

Javelin WG is easy to apply and can be mixed as a liquid concentrate. The general application rate is 0.25 to 1.5 lbs. per acre, with the exact dosage depending on the level of infestation and the size of the larvae. It can be used in conjunction with other insecticides for worm control and should be reapplied every 5-10 days as needed.
