Solution #3: BTI




Bacillus thuringiensis
Bacil⋅lus thu⋅rin⋅gi⋅en⋅sis [thoo-rin-jee-en-sis]
What is it? A bacteria in the soil.

Who discovered Bti? Two different men, a Japanese named Ishiwata in 1901 and by Ernst Berliner in 1911 when he was studying a disease in flour moth caterpillars.

How it works: The mosquito larvae ingest it which makes it's nerves very alert which causes stomach rupture. Use any of the products in the picture in areas where mosquitoes breed. The Anastasia Mosquito Control uses this product now where we live.
