Can You Use Mosquito Dunks in Hydroponics?
WouterUsing Mosquito Dunks in hydroponics is not necessary, but can help prevent mosquitoes. They’re a long-lasting, environmentally friendly way to kill mosquito larvae. You can place them in rain barrels, gutters, animal water troughs, flower pots and any other standing water source. They can also be used in ponds and tree holes.
One of the best features of Mosquito Dunks is that they’re non-toxic to humans and animals. They work by slowly releasing larvicide. They also contain Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israaelenses, which has been tested against over 2,500 species of mosquito larvae.
When you place a Mosquito Dunk in your hydroponics system, it will gradually release the larvicide over time. In most cases, you’ll need to treat a surface area of 5 to 25 square feet. If the water is highly contaminated, you may need to increase the amount of Mosquito Dunk you use.
The best time to use Mosquito Dunks is in the early spring. They’ll last longer and they’ll be effective against all stages of the mosquito life cycle. They’ll also prevent mosquitoes from breeding in unexpected places. They’re also a great addition to other anti-mosquito products.
Mosquito Dunks are designed for organic production, so they’ll not harm vegetables. You can use Mosquito Dunks in flower pots, rain barrels, gutters, ponds, animal water troughs and any other area with standing water. They’re also safe to use around poultry and wild birds.
You can also use Mosquito Dunks in garden soil. You’ll need to place the disks in a nylon sock to avoid solid debris.
