I was lead to beleive that Spinosaid, the bacteria was used mostly to kill the eggs of the hard to get rid of white flys,,I have never heard of it getting used for anything else,,all is I know is that when the white fly lays its eggs on the under side of plants leaves that this bacteria goes into the egg and feeds on the white fly egg in return killing it before it can even emerge ?????
