ALTOSID® 30-Day Briquets
Stop mosquitoes where they start.
Catch basins, ponds, lakes, roadside ditches and surface water receptacles are all locations where ongoing maintenance is necessary, but often impractical. A single application of ALTOSID® 30-Day Briquets provides the solution, by ensuring consistent, slow-release control for up to 30 days.
Compared with B.t.i., ALTOSID 30-Day Briquets provide much more effective control. That's because (S)-Methoprene, the IGR in ALTOSID products, is consumed or absorbed by mosquito larvae. ALTOSID 30-Day Briquets can be hand-applied by operators on foot or in moving vehicles, saving you time and money.
ALTOSID XR-Briquets
Habitats that need the most control are often the most undesirable and difficult to treat. So you'll be pleased to learn that a single application of ALTOSID XR-Briquets offers up to 150 days of control.
Like ALTOSID 30-Day Briquets, XR Briquets require no expensive application equipment, and can be used for pre-treatment before the wet season. That means you're better able to treat hard-to-access or out-lying areas, and can eliminate the additional costs associated with travel and multiple retreatments.
Altosid XR Briquets are available in an "ingot" shape for easier application.
This "ingot" shape (3 1/8" L x 1" H x 1 1/8" W)
is narrower and longer than the existing "cork" shape, allowing the
product to fit through virtually any storm drain or sewer without the
need for lifting the grate. Now, Altosid XR Briquets make application
easier and still deliver season-long control of mosquito larvae for
up to 150 days.
