What kind of gardener are you?

A butterfly garden does more than just add color to your yard. It provides a friendly habitat for pollinators throughout their life cycle. Select a sunny, slightly sheltered spot and plant a variety of native nectar flowers and host plants. This way, you can support butterflies from caterpillar to adult while also creating a vibrant, beautiful outdoor area.

🦟🌿 The BTI Difference: Smarter Mosquito Control at the Source

Not all mosquito control methods work the same way—and understanding the differences matters for protecting both people and the environment around your home.

One of the most effective tools in mosquito prevention is BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), a naturally occurring bacterium used in biological larvicides like Mosquito Dunks® and Mosquito Bits®.

Here’s how it works compared to traditional chemical sprays:

🧪 Traditional chemical sprays
• Target adult mosquitoes on contact
• Often require repeated applications
• Can affect a broad range of insects in the treated area
• Work after mosquitoes are already active

🌱 BTI biological larvicides
• Target mosquitoes at the larval stage in standing water
• Work before mosquitoes become biting adults
• Specifically affects mosquito, black fly, and fungus gnat larvae
• Leave beneficial insects largely untouched when used as directed
• Provide longer-lasting control in breeding sites like birdbaths, ponds, and rain barrels

💡 The key difference: Chemical sprays respond to mosquitoes after they emerge. Bti helps stop the cycle earlier—right where mosquitoes begin.
By focusing on the source, Bti-based control supports healthier outdoor spaces and more balanced ecosystems while reducing mosquito pressure around homes and gardens.

🌎 Smarter control starts in the water—not the air.
