> A favorite among pest control operators and organic gardeners, this  
> material is used for biological control of different pests of  
> people, pets and plants.  There are 2 basic BT products used in the  
> pest control industry -- one for killing certain aquatic pest, the  
> other for controlling caterpillars that destroy crops and  
> ornamental plants.  Mosquito Bits and Mosquito Dunks should be used  
> to kill aquatic pests (mosquitoes), Dipel Dust and Dipel Spray  
> should be used in gardens for caterpillars, worms or loopers  
> feeding on plants.

> larvae where they live and breed -- in standing water.  Dunks kill  
> mosquitoes (larval stages) for 30 days.  Bits give a massive quick  
> kill of mosquito larvae for a short time.  Both products are safe  
> to use in bird baths, fish ponds, flower pots, drainage ditches --  
> any area where water can accumulate or stands.  Placed at water's  
> edge in lakes and ponds will not harm fish or other wildlife.
