Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis 5% AS – 500 ml

Biological Mosquito Larvicide | Bti 5% AS | 500 ml Bottle

Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) 5% AS is a biological larvicide formulated for the management of mosquito larvae in aquatic breeding habitats. Bti acts specifically during the larval stage and is widely used as part of integrated mosquito and vector management programs.

Product Details

Product: Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis 5% AS
Common Name: Bti 5% AS
Formulation: 5% AS (Aqueous Suspension)
Pack Size: 500 ml Bottle
Category: Biological Larvicide / Microbial Insecticide
Target: Mosquito Larvae
Application: Aquatic mosquito breeding habitats

How Bti Works

After Bti is applied to mosquito breeding water, susceptible mosquito larvae ingest the biologically active material while feeding. The active proteins produced by Bti act in the larval gut, resulting in feeding cessation and subsequent larval mortality.

Because Bti works primarily through ingestion, application should be made to areas where mosquito larvae are actively feeding.

Target Mosquito Larvae

Bti is commonly used in mosquito-management programs targeting larvae of important mosquito groups including:

• Aedes spp.
• Culex spp.
• Anopheles spp.

It is intended for larval-stage management rather than direct control of adult mosquitoes.

Typical Application Areas

Bti 5% AS may be used, where permitted by the product registration and local regulations, in mosquito breeding habitats such as stagnant water, drains, water-holding structures, ponds, wastewater areas, irrigation channels and other suitable larval habitats.

It can form part of mosquito-management programs undertaken by municipal bodies, resorts, hotels, residential developments, industrial facilities, public-health programs and professional pest-management operators.

Key Benefits

Biological mosquito larval control: Microbial approach for managing mosquito larvae.

Targeted larval-stage action: Designed to act when susceptible larvae ingest Bti in treated breeding water.

Suitable for integrated vector management: Can be incorporated into broader mosquito surveillance and control programs.

Convenient liquid formulation: 5% AS formulation allows practical dilution and application according to the approved label.

500 ml pack: Convenient bottle size for professional mosquito-management applications.

Directions for Use

Identify active mosquito breeding sites and confirm the presence of mosquito larvae before treatment. Apply Bti 5% AS according to the approved product label, registered application rate and local regulatory requirements.

Application rate and treatment frequency can vary according to mosquito species, larval density, water conditions, organic load, habitat type and environmental conditions.

Always follow the registered label directions. Do not exceed the recommended application rate.

Storage

Store in the original tightly closed container in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, food and animal feed. Keep out of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
