Instructions for use

Larval control is best suited for a context where mosquito breeding sites are limited in number, relatively permanent in time, and not widely dispersed. To effectively carry out larviciding activities it is necessary to locate and map all the potential breeding sites within the flight range of the vector. The product can be used by directly applying the undiluted granules into breeding sites

The undiluted granules should be dosed using a pre- calibrated scoop or spoon.

For application in reservoirs containing non- potable water that can be used by mosquitoes for breeding: Such reservoirs include open irrigation tanks, lakes, ponds, swamps, cisterns etc. The application rate to be used is 2- 10 g of product/ 1000 liters of water. The exact application rate depends on the habitat conditions and the program objectives. To define the exact application rate, contact your technical referent.

When dosing natural water bodies or semi-polluted waters, retreatment should be foreseen after 4- 6 months if the lowest dose of treatment has been administered.

For application in drinking water reservoirs: 2 grams of product per 1000 liters of water should be applied.Retreatment should be foreseen after 3- 4 months if the lowest dose of treatment has been administered.

Precautions for Use

The product's safety data sheet indicates very low mammalian toxicity. However, when handling the product, standard protective measures should be followed:

  • When handling the undiluted granules or mixing the product use an FFP- 2/ N95 particle mask
  • Wear protective clothing during handling and application (goggles, clothes covering arms and legs, gloves, FFP2/ N95 particle mask when handling the undiluted product).
