These are available in sachets as dried spores which are mixed with water and sprayed onto vulnerable plants such as rassicas and fruit trees, where these are eaten by the insect larvae. In the gut of the larvae, the toxin is released and the larvae get killed. The bacterial disease will kill the caterpillars, but leave other insects unharmed.
