Summit Mosquito Bits

Summit Mosquito Bits contain Bti, a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically targets mosquito larvae. When larvae ingest the granules in standing water, the Bti disrupts their digestive system, effectively stopping them from maturing into biting adults.

Yes, the active ingredient, Bti, is highly selective. It targets mosquito larvae specifically and is considered safe for use around people, pets, birds, fish, and other wildlife when used as directed.

You should apply the bits to any area where water collects and stands, such as flowerpot saucers, birdbaths, rain barrels, clogged gutters, or ornamental ponds. The goal is to treat the water sources where mosquitoes lay their eggs.

For ongoing control, you should reapply the granules every 7 to 14 days. Since the bits dissolve and the active ingredient breaks down over time, consistent reapplication ensures the water remains treated throughout the mosquito season.

No, the corn cob granules are non-toxic to plants. They are designed to be sprinkled directly into containers or garden beds where water pools, and they will not damage your flowers, vegetables, or landscaping.
