• Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) acts as an insecticide by producing a protein (insecticidal crystal protein – ICP) that is toxic to pest larvae when ingested. This protein paralyzes the insect’s gut, halts feeding, destroys the intestinal lining, and allows the bacteria to invade and cause fatal sepsis. The larvae typically die from starvation and infection within hours, with complete mortality often occurring within 24 hours. Bti is effective only against larvae that ingest it and does not impact pupae, adults, or late-stage larvae that are no longer feeding.

• Formulations: The product is available as water-dispersible granules and other formulations for water spray. After dilution, it can be applied by hand broadcasting, a hand or drop spreader for smaller areas, or by standard ground or aerial methods for larger areas.
• Application Rates: Apply 1 gram per square meter during early stages of mosquito population development. For higher mosquito populations, use double the dosage. Reapply every 8-12 days to enhance mosquito control effectiveness.
• Pest Control: For Lepidoptera pests, treat the area while pest eggs are still in the incubation period for optimal results.
• Timing: Apply the product in the morning or on cloudy days. If it rains within 6 hours of application, reapply the product.
