Fungus gnats where to buy Mosquito bits or dunks in Australia?

Recently found some fungus gnats on my pitcher plants and was wondering where to find a product like Mosquito bits or dunks in Australia. Or any other products that has Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis serotype israelensis)as an active ingredient to it?

  • Do you have any sundews? There are even some native sundews in Vic.

  • -1

    Amazon/eBay.

    They're attracted to light so yellow sticky traps with a light aimed at them at night works.

    • where do i buy yellow sticky traps?

      • I have found them at Bunnings. https://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?q=sticky%20trap&…
        I'd like to know where to find Mosquito Bits also, but haven't had any success (there are a few online from the US but they are very expensive as most don't ship to AUS). I am planning on using neem-oil on my houseplants instead.

  • Did you manage to find a place in Australia that sells Moqsuito Bits?

    Been trying to find some but can only see it shipping out from the US on Amazon.

  • Might be a year late, but BTI is sold in Australia as vectobac G. Try pond shops.

  • Yates Natures Way Caterpillar Killer Dipel Insecticide’s active ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis. Available at Bunnings for approx. $20

    • That's the wrong strain of BT - it won't do anything for fungus gnats. There are multiple varieties of BT. For fungus gnats and mosquitos you specifically need BTI, which is Bacillus Thuringiensis variety Israelensis
