𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝘁𝗶 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲? Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that can effectively kill mosquito larvae present in water. It is one of many strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, each having unique toxicity characteristics. Bti is very specific for mosquitoes and black flies including midges. It is non-toxic to all other wildlife, pets, fish, and humans. Bti is the primary material used for mosquito control because of its low toxicity to non-target species. When community mosquito control is needed to reduce mosquito-borne disease, the Department of Health favors use of larvicide applications to the breeding source of mosquitoes. Larvicides are more effective and less toxic than adult mosquito sprays, and the applications are unlikely to result in human exposure. Bti insecticide is available in briquet (Mosquito Dunks), granular (Mosquito Killer), liquid (Aquabac XT) and powder form (Aquabac DF3000). All are manufactured in USA, EPA and NEA(Singapore) registered. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝘁𝗶 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? Bti spores that are eaten by mosquito larvae release toxins into the mosquito's gut, causing the larvae to stop eating and die. Bti is only effective against actively feeding larvae, and does not affect mosquito pupae or adults. Products that contain Bti are available in liquid, briquette (small block) and granular formulations. These formulations can be applied to water bodies by hand, with a sprayer, or aerially. Bti breaks down quickly in the environment and may need to be reapplied regularly to obtain adequate mosquito control. Depending on the formulation and environmental conditions, Bti may remain effective from 24 hours to over one month. 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.
