Mosquito Bits 30 oz
Are you ready for a product that kills mosquitos during the larvae stage before they are large enough to bite and transmit disease? Then Mosquito Bits are the product that you've been looking for.
Mosquito Bits contain BTI which is specifically designed to kill mosquitos at their larvae stage. Mosquito Bits are a highly selective microbial insecticide (BTI) that are effective against mosquitoes in a variety of habitats. Mosquito Bits are designed to kill the larvae of mosquitoes that transmit West Nile Virus, Zika Virus, Chikungunya, Encephalitis, Malaria, and Dengue Fever. As the Mosquito Bits dissolve the BTI spreads over the surface of the water and this is how it releases the biological mosquito larvicide. This larvicide gradually settles in the water where it is eaten by mosquito larvae growing there.
B.T.I. is a bacterium that controls mosquitoes and black flies in their larval filter-feeding stage of development. The larvae die after consuming the bacteria that causes a disease specific to them but are harmless to all other forms of wildlife.
Mosquito Bits get to work quickly and are an effective way to combat a wet area where mosquitos thrive
The Mosquito Bits will give a quick kill of existing mosquito larvae within 24 hours. It is recommended to re-apply every 7 to 14 days for maximum control.
Mosquito Bits are approved for application in areas that contain aquatic life, fish, and plants. Bits may also be applied to areas used by or in contact with humans, animals, horses, livestock, pets, birds, or wildlife.

Are Mosquito Bits harmful to dogs?
If a dog was to eat the product, which has occurred in the past, it would not cause poisoning. The only adverse effects that could occur would be indigestion due to the fact that it is high in fiber, and would be similar to eating wood with calcium. The dog might vomit or have diarrhea, but that would be all.

Fungus gnats are common pest problems, especially with high organic and moisture content in growing media or soil. For use in growing media or soil of house, garden, and landscape plants and
