Mosquito Dunks®
Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis primary powder [7000 Aedes aegypti (AA) International Toxic Units (ITU) per milligram primary powder (Dry weight basis)].

Mosquito Dunks float on water and will keep on working for 30 days or longer under typical environmental conditions. While floating, they slowly release a long-term, biological mosquito larvicide at the water's surface. This larvicide gradually settles in the water where it is eaten by mosquito larvae growing there.

Mosquito Dunks may be used in all types of standing water sites. Alternate wetting and drying will not reduce their effectiveness. where mosquito larvae grow.

Mosquito Dunks Six Pack
Use one Mosquito Dunk for up to 100 square feet of water surface, regardless of depth. They can be used whole or broken into portions and applied to standing water found near the home in areas such as bird baths, flower pots, tree holes, old tires, unused swimming pools, rain barrels and roof gutters.

Mosquito Dunks contain the same subspecies of Bt that is used in a popular commercial fungus gnat control, which is no longer available in consumer sizes. Many of our customers have successfully used mosquito dunks as a soil drench to eliminate fungus gnat larvae. Just scrape off a teaspoon or two of Mosquito Dunk into a gallon of water, stir, and thoroughly drench container soil every 3 or 4 days.
