Ya I have friends in the area that have issues with them sporadically. They are fucked up. If I ever have an issue I will gladly spray BT once a week in flower. Get a sprayer with a back pack. 
I Kelp foliar every 3 days anyways.

I wish I didnāt have to deal with shitterpillars here but we have tons of moths. Wasnāt too bad last season with the BT. Iām glad you donāt have to deal with those a holes @ColeLennon
I have tried to avoid spinosad because of the bees but I did use Captain Jackās deadbug twice last season when things were out of control. Trying to stick to Neem where I can and BT sparingly come flower time.
I picked up fresh bottles of Monterey BT and Neem yesterday at the nursery and asked about ladybugs and worms, Iām too late in the season and they donāt sell them anymore. On the fence about ordering some or just waiting for nature to do itās thing. I hate knowing little shit aphids are munching my leaves while I sleep
Weāve got smoke here and I donāt even know where the fire is, weāve had a wet spring so I donāt think itās terribly close. Watching the news is depressing these days so Iām choosing ignorance

It seems a weekly foliar of properly emulsified neem oil does a good job of preventing most pests throughout veg and into flower where you need to switch to BT for the caterpillars. Just keep up with the prevention part and that should go a long way.
I was laughing cause I saw the sprayer you recommend in another thread and I was thinking you need a bigger sprayer for your plants or do you just have to refill halfway through?

The ladybugs will just fly away. I dumped 1500 last year and they were gone in a day.āI even sprayed sugar water on stemsā Save your $. The couple I see out there now are wild. I do feel rather lucky that I havenāt had a pest problem as of yet. I really think I owe it to these predator spiders that shoot webs over from my Douglas firs and greenhouse. The news is horrible.

I actually have two of those sprayers as well, works quite well for my indoor plants and for starting my veggie seeds.

I beat up any sprayer I have. I stopped using neem because it just gunks up my sprayer.
