DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner
inconsistent with its labeling.
BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP is a highly selective
microbial insecticide, effective against mosquito larvae in
standing water. The active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis
subsp. israelensis (or Bti) kills mosquito larvae upon
ingesting. BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP will not harm
fish, amphibians or other [beneficial] aquatic organisms.
BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP can be applied to
any containerized water site except, 1) New York State
Waters, 2) treated, finished water reservoirs or drinking
water receptacles, when the water is intended for human
consumption. Use BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP
to control mosquito larvae in livestock watering troughs,
containerized water gardens, flower pots, rain barrels, roof
gutters, bird baths, tree holes, unused swimming pools or
spas, discarded automobile tires, and any other containerized
location around the home or other buildings where water
can collect [and form a breeding ground for mosquitoes] and
remain for extended periods.
BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP is provided in a watersoluble pouch to be placed directly on the surface of the
water to be treated. The pouch will float on the water surface
and dissolve within a few minutes, releasing granules coated
with Bti. [These granules then slowly release the long-term
Bti larvicide.]
HOW TO APPLY:
[APPLICATION RATE] 1 pouch (0.2 oz.) will treat up to 50
sq. ft. of water surface. [An area approximately 7’ x 7’] When
using multiple pouches to treat larger areas, distribute the
pouches uniformly on the water surface to ensure adequate
dispersion of the granules. Lower rate (1 pouch/50 sq. ft.)
can be used in clear water, against low larval infestations or
young larvae (from egg hatch to mid-third instar). When larger
larvae (late third
instar to early fourth instar) predominate,
larval populations are high, or water is polluted and/or algae
are prevalent, use the higher rate of 2 pouches per 50 sq. ft.
The following table can be used as a guide for determining
how much BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP to use in a
particular situation. Application rates for areas smaller than
50 sq. ft. are listed after the table.

SMALL AREA APPLICATION: To apply this product to small,
specific areas such as bird baths, tree holes, flower pots,
etc...trim off a corner of the pouch and sprinkle granules onto
the area to be treated, at the following rates:
AREA TO BE TREATED
1 to 12½ sq. ft.
12½ to 25 sq. ft.
25 to 37½ sq. ft.
QUANTITY TO USE
¼ of a pouch
½ of a pouch
¾ of a pouch
Application can be repeated every 7 to 14 days, as needed,
if environmental conditions favor continuous breeding of
mosquitoes. Longer periods of mosquito suppression may
result where sufficient numbers of aquatic parasites or
predators of mosquito larvae are present, since these are
not affected by BONIDE® Mosquito Beater® WSP and
contribute to overall reduction in mosquito populations.
