Summit 8oz Mosquito Bits - Treats 2000sqft

How It Works

At the basis of Summit Mosquito Bits is the active ingredient Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically targets mosquito larvae and fungus gnats. Once applied to standing water or soil, the bits release Bti, which larvae ingest. This biological action disrupts their digestive systems, killing them before they mature into adult mosquitoes or gnats.

Critical features of Mosquito Bits include:

• Fast-Acting Results: Mosquito larvae are eliminated within 24 hours of application, significantly reducing the adult population in the treated area.
• Targeted Control: The Bti formula is highly selective, affecting only larvae of mosquitoes, fungus gnats, and certain other pests, leaving beneficial insects unharmed.
• Safe for Humans and Pets: This natural solution is non-toxic to humans, pets, wildlife, and aquatic ecosystems, making it safe to use in residential areas and around water sources.

Ideal for Large Areas of Standing Water

For areas where standing water tends to collect—whether it's a swampy backyard, a retention pond, or a wetland—Summit Mosquito Bits provides an easy and efficient way to prevent mosquito infestations. Since mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, treating these areas with Mosquito Bites will significantly reduce the population of adult mosquitoes that emerge from larvae.

• Covers Large Areas: The 8oz container treats up to 2,000 square feet, making it suitable for more significant properties, including lawns, ponds, marshes, and rain barrels.
• Effective in Various Water Bodies: Apply the product in swampy areas, stagnant pools, ditches, and any other standing water where mosquito breeding is likely.
• Long-Lasting Protection: Reapply as needed to maintain protection throughout the mosquito breeding season, especially after heavy rains or flooding that may create new breeding sites.

Fungus Gnat Control for Houseplants and Gardens

In addition to controlling mosquito larvae, Summit Mosquito Bits are also effective against fungus gnat larvae, which can damage houseplants, garden plants, and greenhouse crops. Fungus gnats typically breed in moist soil, and their larvae feed on plant roots, leading to weakened plants and poor growth.

• Indoor and Outdoor Use: Whether you're treating potted houseplants, garden beds, or greenhouse crops, Mosquito Bits can be applied directly to the soil to eliminate fungus gnat larvae.
• Protects Plant Roots: By controlling larvae, Mosquito Bits prevent fungus gnats from damaging the root systems of plants, ensuring healthier growth and development.
• Safe for Edible Crops: This biological control can be used safely in vegetable gardens and around food-producing plants without the risk of contaminating produce.

Easy Application

Applying Summit Mosquito Bits is simple and convenient, making it easy to incorporate into any pest management routine. Whether targeting mosquito larvae in standing water or fungus gnat larvae in soil, this versatile product ensures effective, low-maintenance control.

• Simple to Apply: Sprinkle the Mosquito Bits evenly over the affected area—whether it's a pond, a garden bed, or a container plant.
• Quick Action: The Bti bacteria get to work immediately, with noticeable results in as little as 24 hours for mosquito larvae.
• Suitable for various environments: It can be used in water features, landscapes, or indoor spaces with potted plants, making it adaptable to different pest control needs.

Safe for Wildlife

Unlike chemical pesticides, Summit Mosquito Bits provide an eco-friendly pest control solution. The natural Bti bacteria in the product specifically target mosquito and fungus gnat larvae without harming beneficial insects like bees, butterflies, or earthworms. It's also safe for fish, birds, and other wildlife, making it perfect for use around ponds, streams, and other water features home to aquatic life.

• Non-Toxic to Wildlife: The biological action of Bti ensures that it only affects pest larvae, leaving other wildlife and beneficial insects unharmed.
• Aquatic and Terrestrial Safe: Whether using it in a backyard pond or a houseplant, you can be confident that Mosquito Bits won't harm the surrounding environment.
• OMRI Listed for Organic Gardening: Summit Mosquito Bits are certified for organic farming and gardening, ensuring compatibility with environmentally sustainable practices.

Final Thoughts

For the best results with Summit 8oz Mosquito Bits, applying the product as soon as standing water appears or at the first signs of fungus gnat infestation is recommended. For ongoing mosquito control, reapply after heavy rains or flooding, as new breeding sites may emerge. When treating soil for fungus gnats, repeat the application every few weeks to maintain control throughout the growing season.

Integrating Summit Mosquito Bits into your pest management routine can effectively prevent mosquito infestations and protect your plants from damaging fungus gnats—all with a natural, safe, and eco-friendly solution.
