Mosquito Donuts

While floating at the water's surface, these all-natural 'donuts' use a slow release process that continually works for up to 30 days under typical environmental conditions. Each unit is impregnated with a safe, biological larvicide known as BTi (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis). It is a target specific bacteria discovered in the deserts of Israel. This non-living, non-viable bacteria is effective and environmentally benign, but deadly to mosquito larvae, killing them before they mature into adult mosquitos. They will not adversely harm non-target organisms. Alternate drying and wetting cycles will not reduce the effectiveness of the donuts. To prevent them from being washed away, the donuts may be anchored to any permanent object by tying a string through the center hole. Donuts may be used whole, or broken into portions for smaller applications. Ideal pre-treatment solution for areas prone to seasonal flooding or rainfall accumulation.
