Mosquito Bits 'Quick Kill'
Marshy swampy areas inundated with larvae? Sprinkle Mosquito Bits (Quick Kill) as a shock to quickly annihilate the larval population. Corn cob granules coated in BTI, the Bits (do not last long but) provide a punch, turning water black with larvae, to a clear pool void of future mosquitoes. A week after application either supplement with Mosquito Dunks, for long term control or continue to add Bits on a bi-weekly basis. The Mosquito Bits are labeled to control Fungus Gnats in plant beds or pots! Utilizing a similar mode of action for control of mosquito larvae, the Bits, either sprinkled on the soil's surface or mixed with potting soil prior to planting will kill fungus gnat larvae with the same safety and target specific control offered for mosquito larvae.

"...I been using it with every single watering. Pack lasts a long while, but if you leave the contents in water for a while it develops weird scent..." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the mold that forms on top of the mosquito bits. They mention that the corny parts grew mold, and the dirt grew white hary mold.

The way you use it is to deliberately put out containers of "standing water" near areas that would naturally attract mosquitoes, for example, near downspouts, near houseplants in saucers, in birdbaths. Treat your pans of standing water with Mosquito Bits then just leave them there. The idea is to attract female mosquitos to lay their eggs in your treated standing water, because when they do, those larvae are killed by the product (BTI bacteria) and never become adult biting insects themselves.
I live in Virginia, so I start putting out my standing water pans in May. I check the water levels weekly and add water to replace any that has evaporated. I refresh the granules monthly. I dump out, clean, and put away the pans in October. The timing you need to follow will depend on where you live and your climate.
This product is nontoxic to all except a few species of fish. Your cats and dogs, backyard birds, honey bees, and so on will not be harmed if they drink water treated with this product. There's a CDC fact sheet on BTI bacteria, which I recommend that you download and read.
If you have a water feature in your landscape, you'll probably want to use a related product, which is BTI in the form of longer-lasting small bricks intended for use in larger bodies of water. However, if you have fish in your water feature, be sure to check first that BTI will not harm the species of fish that you have.
There is a certain amount of effort involved in using Mosquito Bits -- putting out the pans, checking them weekly, refreshing the granules, cleaning the pans at the end of the season. However, the result of virtually eliminating mosquitoes around your house using an organic, nontoxic product is well worth the small effort required.
THRIPS UPDATE - I do believe this works on thrips as well, but I’m not 100% sure yet. I have one pot that I should have changed out the dirt to help eliminate them, but honestly because the size of the plant it would be a headache, so I decided to leave it as is and do the following: First I added a top dressing of sand and rocks, then everyday for a few minutes I would do a quick examination of the plant and smash any thrips I found, I removed very sickly/damaged foliage, I also added sticky traps to get the ones I missed, then I applied the mosquito bits “tea” once per week (apply to your normal watering schedule if it isn’t the same as mine). I did this for 4 weeks and I have yet to find any more thrips; My sickly plant looks completely healthy now (I believe it’s been about 3-4 months since I completed treatment)! I am being cautiously optimistic about this though because their eggs might be dormant, but I will provide a final update once I believe I have won this battle (or not lol).
FINAL UPDATE - So shortly after my last update my mom brought a plant home…. That was infested with thrips. Ah…ha ha ha ha…. *screaming at the top of my lungs* THANKS MOM! Thankfully they didn’t spread much. I restarted my battle as per above. It has been a year since my battle first started with thrips and they are NO MORE. I’m CONVINCED enough. How you wonder? Because I reused the SAME dirt that definitely had their larvae in it for several new plants (I know, I’m COMPLETELY mental haha) and there has been ZERO thrip activity whatsoever (the dirt was infested from a year ago). I’m totally convinced this also works on thrip larvae as I read in previous studies. Just follow my directions on thrips above. Was the battle worth it though? Probably not, to be honest. I would have been way less stressed if I just tossed the plant out and started over, but I hate giving up. If you have time on your hands, or are as nuts as I am, go ahead and become a plant saving warrior!
