  • Asked by Jessica from Uniontown, Ohio
    06/25/2018
    Q
    Can you use water treated with BTI Mosquito Dunks to water your lawn?
    We have alot of gnats in our grass. When our dogs are outside laying down they are covered in them. Trying to find a non-harmful way to get rid of them.
    A

    BTI Mosquito Dunks are only meant to be used in standing water areas like bird baths, ponds, etc. If you wanted to treat your lawn for gnats you would want to use an actual insecticide like Bifen I/T which is a clear drying insecticide that would last on the lawn for at least 30 days to give continuous control over the gnat population and would be completely safe for your pet to lay on once dry. Bifen I/T is used at the rate of 0.5-1 oz per gallon of water and can be sprayed on lawns, bushes, trees, hedges, flowers, etc for gnat/mosquito control.

    Q
    I have a pool set up for my dogs is it safe for them to swim in the pool with BTI Mosquito Dunks?
    A

    You can use the BTI Mosquito Dunks directly in wading pools and they will not harm your dogs. These dunks will float on top of the water for several weeks so we would suggest that you take the dunks out of the pool while the dogs are in the water so they will not play with them or try to eat them.
