DESCRIPTION

Female fungus gnats lay hundreds of eggs that become flying adults within just two weeks. Get ahead of the infestation using the bacteria found in Mosquito Bits, naturally fatal to the larvae of fungus gnats and mosquitoes.

Bits are safe for use on indoor plants and in the garden. These natural bacteria do not cause harm to beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs. This product is also safe for use around pets, people, and animals.

Active Ingredient: Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (BTI), a naturally occurring bacterium.

BENEFITS

Mosquito Bits eliminate fungus gnat eggs and larvae inside soil, effectively targeting fungus gnat infestations caused by overwatering, poor drainage, root rot, and spread from other plants.
