SUMMIT MOSQUITO DUNKS
Best natural solution for homeowners managing standing water and mosquito larvae.
Summit Mosquito Dunks offer a long-term, sustained release solution for killing mosquito larvae before they mature into biting adults. This environmentally friendly approach utilizes natural B.T.I. and is preferred over traditional toxic chemicals. Simply float a Dunk in any standing water, such as ponds, water gardens, or birdbaths, and it will provide protection for up to 100 square feet of surface area for 30 days or more. Unused Dunks maintain their potency indefinitely, ensuring a reliable shelf life for effective mosquito control throughout the season.

Know before you buy
Summit Mosquito Dunks contain B.T.I., a natural bacterium that specifically targets mosquito larvae. When the larvae ingest the bacteria, it disrupts their digestive system, killing them before they can develop into biting adults.
Yes. Because the active ingredient is a biological agent rather than a chemical pesticide, it is safe for people, pets, fish, and birds when used as directed.
Absolutely. You do not need to use a whole dunk for smaller water features; you can easily break a piece off to treat smaller volumes of water without compromising effectiveness.
Each dunk provides continuous protection for 30 days or more. If the water evaporates, the dunk will stop working, but it will resume its effectiveness once the area is refilled.
No special storage is required. Unused, dry dunks maintain their potency indefinitely, so you can keep them on hand for the entire season without worrying about them expiring.
These are designed specifically for standing water. They are most effective in ponds, birdbaths, rain barrels, or any area where water is stagnant and mosquitoes are likely to lay eggs.
