Outdoor Use around the Household to kill Mosquito Larvae: MOSQUITO DUNKS can be broken into portions for use in many outdoor applications near the household, such as containerized standing water in bird baths, old automobile tires, rain barrels, abandoned or unused swimming pools (particularly above ground types), tree holes, roof gutters for collecting rainwater, flower pots, animal watering troughs, or water gardens. MOSQUITO DUNKS can be broken and used as shown in the following table, the amount dependent upon the surface area of the water in the treatment site.
Flooded larvae breeding sites:
Use one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK for up to 100 sq. ft. of surface area of containerized standing water, regardless of depth. In highly polluted water with a high organic content, the application rate may have to be increased to as much as four (4) times the normal dosage based upon evaluation by the user. When larval populations are high, aquatic vegetation dense, or the water highly polluted at the time of dunks use, pre-treatment with SUMMIT MOSQUITO BITS is recommended. Dunks will then suppress larval development for up to 30 days or more. Some larvae which hatch after dunk application may partially develop before dying. Allow a minimum of 48 hours for their control.
Apply one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK to each 100 sq. ft. of containerized surface which is known or suspected breeding site when flooded.
Evaporative Coolers:
Apply one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK to each 100 sq. ft. of Cooler box or for smaller Coolers refer to the table below for applications rate.
SAFE FOR USE IN FISH HABITATS
Pre-Flood treatment:
Apply one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK to each 100 sq. ft. of containerized surface which is known or suspected breeding site when flooded.
Evaporative Coolers:
Apply one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK to each 100 sq. ft. of Cooler box or for smaller Coolers refer to the table below for applications rate. |
