Kill Mosquitoes, Not Pollinators!

Mosquitoes, we can’t live with them and we can’t live without them. 

Stop worrying about harmful chemicals; there are options aside from broad spectrum insecticides that kill beneficial insects like bees and butterflies that are also harmful to humans and pets to control mosquitoes. Introducing Bucket O’ Doom, our premium mosquito solution using Bti, a naturally occurring soil bacterium that has been safely used for over 30 years.

The benefits of using Bti do not end with mosquito control. Our Bti Bucket o’ Doom will also help control black flies and fungus gnats!

Why Choose Bucket O’ Doom?

 Unmatched Safety Profile

  • Zero Harm to Humans & Pets: Bti is non-toxic to people, dogs, cats, livestock, and wildlife. It does not cause illness or contamination in food crops or drinking water supplies when used as directed.
  • Safe for Sensitive Areas: Perfect for rain barrels, ornamental ponds, fountains, septic tanks, and even swimming pools that are not in use. You can treat standing water without fear.

Eco-Friendly & Targeted Action

  • Precision Strike: Bti targets only the larvae of mosquitoes, black flies, and fungus gnats. It requires ingestion to work, meaning it only affects creatures with the specific alkaline gut environment required to activate the toxin.
  • Protects Beneficial Insects: Unlike broad-spectrum insecticides, Bti does not harm honeybees, butterflies, dragonflies, or other pollinators. It keeps your garden’s ecosystem balanced.
  • Aquatic Life Safe: Fish, frogs, turtles, and other aquatic life remain completely unharmed, preserving the biodiversity of your local water bodies.
  • Organic Farming Approved: Used globally in organic agriculture, Bti meets the highest standards for environmental stewardship.

Effective & Easy to Use

  • Breaks the Cycle: By eliminating larvae before they hatch, Bucket O’ Doom stops the mosquito population at the source, significantly reducing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.
  • Proven Track Record: A trusted component of integrated mosquito management plans by health departments and control districts worldwide.

How It Works – The Science

When mosquito larvae feed on Bti particles in the water, the natural bacteria produces crystal proteins inside their gut. These proteins dissolve and attack the larvae’s digestive system, stopping feeding within minutes. The larvae die before they can develop into biting adults, effectively “dooming” the next generation of mosquitoes without a trace of chemical residue.

Bucket O’ Doom is designed to kill mosquito larvae and eliminate the next generation of mosquitoes before they become adults. It does not kill adult mosquitoes.
