    Oleander Catepillars

    These yucky wormy things were destroying my oleanders. One dusting and Voila! Caterpillars are gone and plants/blooms look wonderful. Product was excellent. Would definitely recommend for this problem.

    Dipel Dust

    By Anonymous on 06/03/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I've used Dipel for several years to control tomato and other worms - it's a very effective product but sometimes hard to find locally. Even with shipping your prices are competetive and I don't have to drive around town looking!

    Best for cole crops

    By Linda on 09/22/2018

    Dipel dust was recommended for my fall plants. I had cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts, and the plants stayed free of the cabbage loopers and worms that usually devour these plants. Great product

    Too Slow For Me

    By Rodney on 05/03/2012

    I used this at the start of a horworm infestation and it didn't seem to phase them, so I went back to my old standby.

Sort Questions
Q
After applying Fertilome Dipel Dust, how long do you have to wait until harvesting vegetables?
A
Dipel dust is a biological dust meaning there are no insecticides present.  Therefore, there is no certain amount of time that you have to wait before harvesting after treatment.  Anything that you harvest should be washed thoroughly and when you do this, you will wash away any traces of the product.

Q
Can Dipel be mixed with water and sprayed from a hose end sprayer?
A
Dipel Dust is to only be used as a dry dust. Mixing it with water will likely decrease the effectiveness of the product, much like putting it down as a dust just before a rain will wash it away. Please refer to the product label on how much to use in the areas to be treated.
