Target Pests

1. Mosquito larvae
2. Black fly larvae
3. Fungus gnat larvae

How BTI Works

1. Ingestion: Mosquito larvae consume Bti spores present in their aquatic habitats, such as ponds, puddles, or stagnant water.
2. Activation: In the larvae’s alkaline gut, Bti spores activate and release Cry toxins.
3. Toxin Binding: Cry toxins bind to specific receptors on gut cells, triggering pore formation in cell membranes.
4. Gut Paralysis: Disrupted gut cells cause paralysis, preventing larvae from feeding.
5. Death: Larvae die from starvation and digestive failure within days.

1. The targeted action of this mosquito control method specifically affects mosquito and fly larvae, disrupting their life cycle and preventing them from maturing into adults.
2. Unlike traditional insecticides, this method is selective, formulated to target mosquito and fly larvae while minimizing harm to beneficial insects and non-target species.
3. It ensures environmental safety, posing no significant risks to humans, mammals, birds, fish, or other aquatic life, unlike many traditional insecticides.
4. By reducing mosquito populations, this method helps lower the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus.
5. Targeting larvae helps interrupt the breeding cycle of mosquitoes and flies, leading to a decrease in adult population and disease transmission.
6. This control method is typically part of a comprehensive mosquito control strategy, which may include source reduction, habitat modification, and personal protection measures.

Recommended Application Guidelines:

1. Application: Apply Bti directly to standing water where mosquito larvae are present.
2. Timing: Treat water when larvae are in early developmental stages for maximum effectiveness.
3. Water pH: Effective across a range of water pH levels; avoid mixing with highly alkaline water.

Recommended Use Sites:

1. Stagnant water bodies
2. Ponds and marshes
3. Other mosquito breeding grounds

Recommended Application Methods:

1. Foliar sprays
2. Pre-planting seed treatments
3. Soil incorporation during planting
4. Post-pruning treatments
5. Irrigation or root drench applications
