    Dunks contain BTI which is specifically designed to kill mosquitos at their larvae stage

    Mosquito Dunks are the only sustained-release B.T.I. mosquito larvacides available. The floating Briquettes formulation releases effective levels of B.T.I. at the water's surface for a period of 30 days or more. Mosquito Dunks remain in the water column where mosquito larvae feed, to give you continuous kill. Made with natural B.T.I., Mosquito Dunks represent a major breakthrough for people and the environment when compared with the traditional toxic chemical approach to mosquito control.

    B.T.I. is a bacterium that controls mosquitoes and black flies in their larval filter-feeding stage of development. Mosquito Dunks release a constant, low dose of B.T.I. so early instars may survive temporarily. However, continuous ingestion of the active ingredient produces a chronic infection, which kills the larvae so you will not observe pupae and the adult mosquitoes will not emerge. The larvae die after consuming the bacteria that causes a disease specific to them but is harmless to all other forms of wildlife.

    One Mosquito Dunk will work on 100 square feet of surface water. So it will depend on how long and wide your pool is as to how many Dunks you may need. You can prevent the Dunks from floating around by anchoring them with a small piece of string through the center hole.

    How long do mosquito dunks take to work?

    While floating, a Mosquito Dunk slowly releases a long-term biological mosquito larvicide at the water’s surface. This larvicide gradually settles in the water, and while it travels through the water it is eaten by the mosquito larvae growing there. When female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water treated with a Mosquito Dunk®, the larvae will hatch and begin to eat the Bti. The Bti will kill the mosquito larvae before they can grow up to become biting and disease-spreading adults. With continuous use, you should notice a reduction in mosquitos within a couple of months.
