XENTARI really works to control Boxwood Caterpillar/moth.
Box caterpillar has only been around for a few years but is damaging and killing so many box throughout the south.Probably imported into the country through some dodgy plants it needs controlling NOW to stop it getting a hold .Two types of box disease mould and attack by moth/caterpillar are prevailent.It was only when I saw die back in the beautiful box hedges in my garden that I was spurred into action.Most 'experts' seem resigned to the destruction of plants and suggest digging up and burning.Then I came across XENTARI ,supposedly safe for pets and birds and wildlife so gave it a go .After cutting out worst of the dead sections and picking off and destroying as many of the caterpillars I could see (there's one to every little dead webbed cluster of leaves.I sprayed the plants as instructions and have not seen the pests reappear.One more spray at the end of the season when the moths apparently lay the eggs .REGROWTH has already started on the lower stems so with a bit of loving care I hope they will show promise for next year.CHECK YOR BOX PLANTS ERRADICATE THIS PEST BEFORE IT GETS A HOLD .Buy XenTari with confidence.I am nothing to do with the company but am a very grateful gardener .A+++++Read full review

I have used this product in the past with limited success. Repeated applications are required to control box moth and this year it has returned again (I live in the SE of England). I shall attempt to control it again but if the infestation continues I shall be forced to remove all the box hedging in my garden.Read full review

Used this product last year, very successful. I also bought the fertiliser pellets that came with it.fed the hedge with pellets but nothing happened.. This year WOW amazing amount of new growth appeared but also so did the caterpillars! Applied the powder again with the pump up spray, within 24hr. They were all dead. Great product but keep an eye out for their return! Read full review

Have used this product before and it seems to work. A lot of box hedges in surrounding area are devastated, ours is surviving well so far. Looking carefully, you can find the dead caterpillars after treatment.Read full review

Easy to use and seems to be effective. Despatch was swift too..
Easy to use and seems to be effective. The powder in the sachets readily disperses in water and is therefore easy to spray on the plants. Having sprayed my box plants when the product arrived two weeks ago I've not seen any new caterpillars, whilst my neighbour's bushes have been attacked again. Until now we've both been using 'Bug Clear' but it seems to have been only partially effective and have also been clearing by hand so I thought I would try this new product.
It seems a little pricy but you get 15 sachets, enough for 15 litres of spray. So far I've used two sachets. I'll spray again in a few weeks time and again in the early autumn as recommended.Read full review

Expensive
Still in the box at present, as it only arrived half hour ago, but i have used before. Only sensible product i can find to reach those pesky caterpillars, but you do need to apply regularly. Why so expensive for such small quantities?Read full review

Easy product to use
Sachet size is perfect to spray my 8 buxus plants who all had the caterpillars on them.
Would have given 5 stars but really hoping that my plants will eventually revive caterpillars died within a couple of days.Read full review

Great item, works although if it rains you may need to reapply. I preferred when the sachets were 1g as they were easier to mix in my spray bottle, these are 3g sachets.

I use it between March and October
I’ve been using this for a couple of years now, I use it between March and October. In my area nearly all box bushes have been destroyed. Mine look fine, even some regrowth from a caterpillar attack pre treatment a few years ago. If you are lucky enough to have any box, or are thinking of getting some I would recommend getting some of this product as well.Read full review
