Summit Mosquito Dunks Pack of 20 111-5

Description

This is for a pack of 20 Mosquito Dunks!
A Mosquito Dunk looks like a small, beige donut which floats on standing water. As the Dunk slowly dissolves, it releases a bacterium which is toxic to all species of mosquito larvae.
Each dunk kills mosquito larvae for 30 days or more.
Approved for use in organic production
Each dunk covers up to 100 square feet of water, regardless of depth for 30 days or more
Use Mosquito Dunks® in any standing water including rain barrels, bird baths, tree holes, elevator shafts, planter reservoirs, rain gutters, etc
Mosquitoes lay their eggs directly in standing water or an area known to flood.  While the adult mosquito is a typical six legged, four winged, flying insect pest, their
larvae only survive in an aquatic environment
.  Mosquito Dunks
are a
microbial larvicide
, which means it controls only the larval stage of development utilizing a bacterial active ingredient.  When placed in
standing water
the Dunks float and release a natural soil borne bacterium,
Bti (
Bacillus thuringiensis
subspecies
israeliensis
)
.  This bacteria is ingested by the mosquito larvae within the water and soon after
kills the mosquito larvae with no effect on anything else
.  Mosquito Dunks
®
slow release properties mean that they keep releasing the Bti for at least
30 days or more
, effectively keeping mosquitoes from emerging and becoming biting, disease spreading adults.
While Mosquito Dunks will kill all mosquito larvae in standing water, they are labeled for use in animal watering troughs, ponds, birdbaths, and other areas in which animals and pets will drink and bathe. Mosquito Dunks are also completely harmless to plants, fish, frogs, turtles and beneficial insects.
