Microbe-Lift BMC Liquid Mosquito & Fungus Gnat Control — 1 Gallon

Microbe-Lift BMC is a liquid biological larvicide formulated with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) — a naturally occurring soil bacterium that kills mosquito and fungus gnat larvae before they develop into breeding, biting adults. Effective against larvae that may transmit West Nile Virus, Equine Encephalitis, and Heartworm Disease.

As a liquid formulation, BMC disperses easily in water with no adverse effect on pond or water feature aesthetics. Safe for use in areas containing fish, aquatic life, plants, humans, animals, horses, livestock, pets, birds, and wildlife.
