Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) Liquid Formulation 5 Litre can for mosquito control

BRUISER is built around Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), a bacterium naturally found in soil that serves as a biological larvicide. When introduced into nearly any aquatic environment where mosquitoes and black flies reproduce, this microbial solution targets and eliminates pests during their larval phase with high efficiency. Its liquid format also proves highly effective at managing aquatic midges, a common nuisance in wastewater treatment plants and water channels.

Information Bulletin

The active Bti in BRUISER functions by generating a protein—referred to as an insecticidal crystal protein (ICP)—that proves fatal to larvae upon consumption. This toxic reaction unfolds quickly following treatment; many larvae perish within hours, with full population control achieved in under a day. Because BRUISER relies on ingestion to take effect, it does not impact pupae or adult insects. Larvae in later developmental stages that have ceased feeding will also remain unharmed.

BRUISER stands out as an excellent option for anyone wanting a potent, reliable, and easy-to-use insecticide that leaves no environmental footprint. Key advantages include:

• It leaves no lasting residue in water or soil. Bti, its core ingredient, occurs naturally in the ground, and the protein crystals it generates eventually drift down and settle at the bottom. Once there, they either serve as nourishment for other organisms or decompose naturally.

• No cross-resistance has been observed with chemical insecticides.

• It works well in regions where pests have developed resistance to organophosphates or pyrethroids.

• BRUISER poses no threat to helpful insects, including ladybugs, dragonflies, honeybees, mayflies, damselflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, and true bugs.

• Aquatic life such as Crustacea (including Copepods), oysters, shrimp, crabs, mollusks, flatworms, and Amphibia remain unaffected.

• For over two decades, larvicides derived from Bti have played a central role in large-scale mosquito and black fly management initiatives, with no adverse effects documented.

Recommended Applications:

• Designed as a microbial insecticide to target mosquitoes, fungus gnats, nuisance flies, and problematic aquatic midges in diverse water-containing environments.
• Suitable sites include both constructed and natural ponds and lakes, wastewater plants, sewage ponds, irrigation channels, catch basins, rice paddies, and any crop field standing water hosting mosquito larvae.

Pests and Diseases Managed:

Effective against mosquitoes, Black Flies, Fungus Gnats, nuisance flies belonging to the Psychoda and Chironomus species, and problematic aquatic midges from the Chironomine family.
