It's the 50th anniversary of the discovery of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). Celebrate by decorating a mosquito-killing bucket and gifting it to a friend. I guarantee you they will be surprised. If you don't live in the United States just seek out the Mosquito Dunks equivalent. #MosquitoDunks #bti #bacteria #mosquitoes #nature #biology #diptera

I was excited about this.

Further reading suggests they kill benevolent species in addition to mosquitoes, are damaging to some amphibians, and bti gets absorbed by certain vegetables like cabbage.

@Wintergr33n @colinpurrington Probably why you use it in a bucket to avoid all of that?
