The product is applied to the treetops by low flying aircrafts where spongy moth caterpillars are feeding, often this occurs in May and June.
When the caterpillars feed on the leaves, they ingest the products. The bacterium in Foray is toxic to the caterpillars, they stop feeding, and die within a couple days.

Applications occur twice, about a week apart. Application normally takes place early in the day when low winds and high humidity allow the product droplets to land on tree tops where they will be the most effective. A management site will typically be finished before children are walking to school or people are heading to work.
