Bacillus thuringiensis Israelensis (BTI) is a strain of Bacillus thuringiensis that specifically targets mosquito larvae and other dipteran insects. Recognized as an effective, eco-friendly mosquito control solution, Bti produces Cry toxins that disrupt the digestive systems of mosquito larvae, ultimately causing their death.

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 X 107 CFU/ML

  1. Targeted Action: Specifically targets mosquito and fly larvae, disrupting their lifecycle and preventing them from reaching adulthood.
  2. Eco-Friendly: Safe for beneficial insects, humans, mammals, birds, fish, and other aquatic life.
  3. Disease Control: Reduces mosquito populations, lowering the risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika, and West Nile virus.
  4. Selective Impact: Minimizes harm to non-target species, supporting ecological balance.
  5. Integrated Use: Effective as part of a comprehensive mosquito management strategy, alongside habitat modification and personal protective 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
