Description
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), which gradually settles in the water where it is eaten by juvenile mosquitoes. 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.
Suitable Uses (containerized standing water):
- Animal water troughs
- Water gardens and bird baths
- Rain barrels, water cisterns, and gutter systems
- Unused swimming pools
- Rubber tires and tree stumps
- Other areas where standing water gathers
RULE OF THUMB: 6 donuts will treat 1 rain barrel for 2 years (1/4 donut per mo.)
Caution: Do not apply to water intended for human consumption.
