Mosquitoes are linked to water where their young develop. The critical thing is that the water remains standing long enough for the larvae, called wigglers, to complete their development. Common pest mosquitoes lay their eggs on the water surface; others lay their eggs on the ground next to the water. This could include ground puddles, flower pot dishes, unused swimming pools, tree holes, flower pots, vases, roof gutters or any other area or container where water collects and remains for periods of time.

When Bti are eaten by the mosquito larvae, they damage the gut cells and quickly paralyze them, then kill the larvae quickly and efficiently. Bti spores contained within a crystal, known as a Delta Endotoxin, only activate in a highly basic digestive tract such as those specific to mosquitoes and black flies.

Treatment is applied in the form of water based mist using a backpack misting unit at the external areas of the premise. The mist simulates rain, and thus will be able to reach all possible microhabitats within the area effectively. Due to its water based nature, it will not leave stains on building exterior areas. The frequency of Bti application would be at 10 day intervals and this is aligned with the time the mosquito takes to complete its entire life cycle. Thus disrupting the larval stage of the cycle is important in ensuring an effective treatment against mosquito larvae.

A residual pesticide is coupled together with the BTI application. The pesticide will coat on all surfaces the mist falls on and when adult mosquitoes land on these treated surfaces, the residual effect in the pesticide will eliminate them. This is termed as MAJOR’s 2 in 1 Mosquito Treatment, and with this treatment, you can be rest assured that you will be able to have peace of mind from mosquito attacks. The frequency of the 2 in 1 application would be at 10 day intervals.
