Have any of you used the insecticides containing spinosad for leafrollers and other caterpillars. I was looking into a least toxic alternative to traditional controls for these pests but something more effective than B.t. my research hit upon spinosad (trade names Conserve SC and Entrust) your experiences would be appreciated before I spend the $400 per lb for them.
 
I'm pretty sure you can get good control using the biological Dipel (B.T.). Good coverage is really important and it should do the job on all the worms.
