Description

Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) serves as a biological larvicide specifically targeting the larvae of mosquitoes (Culiseta longiareolate), fungus gnats (Bradysia impatiens), and black flies (Simulium vittatum Zetterstedt). When applied to aquatic environments where these pests breed, Bti effectively controls larval populations while remaining safe for beneficial insects, wildlife, humans, pets, and livestock. Bti can be used in a wide range of water-containing habitats, including both natural and artificial ponds and lakes, wastewater treatment facilities, sewage lagoons, irrigation ditches, catch basins, rice fields, and any standing water with mosquito larvae in agricultural areas.

Mode Of Action

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.

Dosage

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.
