Why it made the arsenal.
If we could hand one product to every household in NYC, it's this. Mosquito Dunks are compressed rings of Bti — a naturally occurring soil bacterium that is lethal to mosquito larvae and essentially harmless to people, pets, birds, fish, bees, and plants. Drop one in the rain barrel, the plant-pot reservoir, the clogged gutter you keep meaning to fix, the birdbath, the koi-less pond — any standing water you can't dump weekly — and it keeps killing larvae for 30 days. EPA-registered, organic-garden approved, absurdly cheap per treated site. This is the highest damage-per-dollar item in the game.
+ Power-ups
- Bti is target-specific: deadly to mosquito/fungus-gnat larvae, safe for nearly everything else
- One dunk treats up to 100 sq ft of water surface for ~30 days
- EPA-registered and usable in organic gardens, rain barrels, birdbaths
- Six-pack covers a whole season for most homes
− Drawbacks
- Only kills larvae — does nothing about adults already flying
- You still have to find the standing water (do the weekly audit)
- Dissolves faster in moving or frequently-refreshed water
