What Is a Mosquito Dunk?

As summer ramps up, so do mosquito swarms. These nasty buggers can quickly ruin any outdoor adventure, especially if they find you particularly tasty. Thankfully, there’s a new mosquito-repelling hack that you definitely want to try!

The secret is using mosquito dunks, which are small tablets that dissolve in water and kill mosquitos before they hatch.

This small but mighty weapon is your ticket to winning the battle against mosquitoes. Mosquito dunks are small, donut-shaped disks that contain an ingredient called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). It’s the perfect mosquito repellent.

Don’t let the fancy name scare you—it’s a natural bacteria that targets mosquito larvae and is harmless to humans and pets.

Mosquito Dunks, 6-Pack

Stop your yard from becoming a mosquito breeding ground.

The beauty of these mosquito dunks lies in their simplicity. All you need to do is place one tablet in standing water where mosquitoes like to breed (such as ponds, bird baths, or rain barrels) and let it work its magic.

As the dunk dissolves, it releases the Bti bacteria and targets the mosquito larvae. Each dunk can protect against mosquitoes for up to 30 days while treating up to 100 square feet of surface water.

Armed with mosquito dunks, you can say goodbye to itchy bites and hello to mosquito-free days and nights in your beautiful yard.
