## Overview

MICROBE-LIFT BMC is an EPA-registered liquid mosquito control treatment designed for medium-sized water gardens, fountains, and ponds up to 2,000 gallons. It effectively kills mosquito larvae, including those that transmit serious diseases, by dispersing evenly throughout the water column without harming fish, plants, or pets. Easy to apply and long-lasting, a single 2-ounce bottle treats up to 2,000 gallons biweekly for up to 16 months, ensuring a beautiful, mosquito-free environment that enhances your outdoor living space.

## Description

MICROBE-LIFT BMC Biological Mosquito Control is an EPA registered product that kills developing mosquitoes before they become breeding biting adults, including those which may transmit west nile virus and equine encephalitis and heartworm disease to dogs and cats. This liquid product disperses quickly in water and has no adverse effect on the appearance of ponds and water features. Apply Microbe-Lift /BMC to containerized standing water or any private water sites except treated, finished drinking water reservoirs or drinking water receptacles when the water is intended for human consumption or state waters. Add directly to the water to be treated at a rate of 2.5 mL per 1,000 gallons of water or 5 mL per 2,000 gallons of water every other week. One bottle treats 2,000 gallons of water every other week for up to 16 months.

Review: Effective & fast, it worked perfectly for my fruit fly problem! - I’m so glad I found this product! I originally bought MICROBE-LIFT BMC to help with a fruit fly infestation that came from a plant I brought home. I used it right away, mixed up 2 tablespoons of product, to 2 gallons of water then watered my plants like normal. I started noticing a difference very quickly. Between this product and the yellow stickies, the flies were drastically reduced within just a couple of days. I really appreciate that it’s a biological solution, not a harsh chemical spray. It feels much safer to use around my home and plants. The directions were easy to follow, and a little bit goes a long way, which makes it great value for the price!! If you’re dealing with mosquitoes, fruit flies, or any other insects, especially your plants, I highly recommend giving this a try — it’s effective, gentle, and works exactly as described! I highly recommend!!
Review: It is a Plant Saver :) - I am really happy about this stuff. I WAS using Bonide Systemic Granules for years until CA banned it. So then I was having to ship it to a friend in another state and pay more shipping costs to have her ship it to CA. I did a search and came up with this. I have ALOT of plants. I do not think 2 drops to 2 gallons is effective, it did not stop the gnats. I used about 1/2 the measuring cup and that worked. I was worried the plants may die--but it has been 2 weeks and there are NO gnats and they are strong and healthy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how often do you have to apply?**
A: The label says:  "Treat Every other week.  Use 6 drops per 100 gallons of water. Use to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in small water gardens and other areas where standing water accumulates."

There is no mention of treating daily.  It's once every two weeks.  Using it daily would kill everything in your pond.  "Mr or Ms. Amazon Customer" who answered earlier saying to apply it daily most likely is mistakenly answering a question regarding some other product, or, they find some sick humor in causing people to kill all their pet fish.  This product is toxic and must be used in accordance with instructions on the label.

**Q: Is this a liquid or powder?  One picture shows both liquid and powder, but the other just shows powder.  The customer review refer to a liquid.**
A: I got the powder yesterday and was hoping that I will get the liquid too.

**Q: How is this product for dragonflys that I do not want to kill?**
A: This might help you, it's from Wikipedia word for word regarding the primary ingredient of this product:
"bacillus thuringiensis israelensis", (Bti), is a group of bacteria used as biological control agents for larvae stages of certain dipterans. Bti produces toxins which are effective in killing various species of mosquitoes, fungus gnats, and blackflies, while having almost no effect on other organisms. Indeed, this is one of the major advantages of B. thuringiensis products in general is that they are thought to affect few nontarget species."  
It doesn't mention dragonflies or other critters that lay eggs in water.  It won't harm the adult dragonflies but I'm not sure the eggs that adults lay in treated water would survive to become adults.

**Q: Is this product a liquid?**
A: Mine came yesterday and it’s the powder form. I was hoping for the liquid instead.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this stuff!!! Is my Go-To...
*by L***C on June 30, 2025*

Absolutely a key item in my pest control arsenal! I ended up with some contaminated potting soil, did not know any better, got an infestation of fungus gnats. I tried tons of stuff, natural remedies, some chemicals, even mosquito bits. Come to find out, it was that new bag of soil I had stored... smh... So after finding the main source, it was time to try to deal with the affected plants (Everything?!?!), and that is where all my real problems came about. I could not get rid of them. Ended up killing off a bunch of stuff, trashing the entire set up. It happened again, but I caught it and this is when this product came into play. Very soon after I started using this (and yellow sticky traps), I noticed a reduction within days. And now, I very rarely see a bug and even if I do, I am confident they will not be hatching any eggs and I will likely catch the adults on a trap or with my spray. The problem is pretty much nonexistent. I am so confident in this product I started using it outside too. Things to keep in mind... It works really well and is super concentrated. It does not take much to get the job done. I found out later I had been overusing it, smh. I have some plants using wicking ropes. I simply add a small drop of this to each of the water containers and it seems to be able to wick up just fine and soak into the pots... As far as small-time use, lol. This is a great value considering how much you actually should be using verse how much you get. Amazing grab! I am not sure yet if this stands when you scale up, but for a home gardener or someone with just a few plants, this is totally worth every penny. A drop per gallon basically, com'on, unreal! and that may even still be overusing it, lbvs. Internet says it won't kill the worms!!!! I totally recommend this product and will be faithfully using it for most thing related, where possible.
