Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, what is more annoying than you? Probably your bites. Not just annoying, they can be deadly too.
Mosquitoes are one of the most dangerous insects as it easily transmits serious diseases and risks to public health. Year after year, different countries have reported mosquito problems being on the rise, and it’s only right that we take part in reducing mosquito populations even by just starting in our own homes.
If you have a pond, fountain, or even a pool in your home, we’ve got a tip for you: mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant or still water, and they can lay more than 100 eggs at a time. If you believe in the saying, “Prevention is better than cure,” that is also what you would do as the first step in stopping mosquito breeding. For you to be able to prevent them from increasing their population, you’ll need to eliminate their eggs before they grow.
So, maybe now you’re asking, “What exactly do I need to do?”
Well, we’ve got just the perfect solution for you:
Non-Toxic Mosquito Dunks.
A Non-Toxic Mosquito Dunk is like a small donut that floats on water and slowly dissolves, which then releases an active ingredient -- the Bacillus Thuringiensis Subspecies Israelensis (BTI) -- which can be toxic to all species of mosquito larvae. But don’t worry, this is harmless to other living organisms such as plants and animals.
How does this work?
Well, just simply toss the Non-Toxic Mosquito Dunk to the water, and when a female mosquito lays eggs, the larvae will hatch and begin to eat the BTI, where the BTI then can kill the larvae before they can grow.
The Non-Toxic Mosquito Dunk will last for 30 days when dissolved in water, can cover up to 100 feet of water, and can reach complete effectiveness within 12 hours. Pretty efficient, right?
Other than simply dropping it into a large quantity of water, you can also put a small chunk into a large container (such as a gallon milk jug) and pour it into your sprayer, then use it to spray on your plants to kill mosquitoes!
This is a really simple and effective way of stopping mosquito breeding without effort-requiring maintenance. And if you’re just a homeowner and not a professional in handling mosquito problems, this is the perfect armor for you when going into the battle in taking on mosquito problems.
Taking simple steps can really result in greater positive results in the future.
