Btk only works under the conditions present in the stomach of insects in the caterpillar stage of development. This condition is not present in the stomachs of humans, mammals, fish, birds, or honeybees.
For Btk have any effects, caterpillars must be actively feeding within approximately two weeks after treatment, they must eat the Foray, and they must be susceptible to the bacteria. The MDA works with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to identify and evaluate impacts to any threatened or endangered species, and ensure that no sites of sensitive, threatened, or endangered species of moths and butterflies overlap with Foray treatments.

No, Btk/Foray will not harm vehicle paint or outdoor structures and can be easily washed off. The spray may be more noticeable on dark-colored vehicles. If it’s left in the sun for several days, the residue may dry and become harder to remove. In that case, rehydrate the area by placing a towel soaked in soapy water over it for a few minutes before wiping clean. You may need to use a bit more effort if the spray has been sitting for a while.
