When should ALTOSID Pellets be applied?
Apply ALTOSID Pellets up to 15 days prior to flooding, or at any stage of larval development after flooding, or in permanent water sites. Fixed wing aircraft or helicopters equipped with granular spreaders may be used to apply ALTOSID Pellets. The pellets may also be applied using ground equipment, which will achieve good, even coverage. ALTOSID Pellets may be applied to artificial containers, such as tires and catch basins.
Where can ALTOSID Pellets be applied and at what rates?
See the ALTOSID Pellets Specimen label for exact application rates.
Apply 5 pounds per acre for floodwater sites, such as pastures, meadows, rice fields, freshwater swamps and marshes, salt and tidal marshes, cattail marshes, woodland pools, flood plains, tires, and other artificial water-holding containers.
Apply 5 to 10 pounds per acre for dredging spoil sites, waste treatment and settling ponds, ditches and other manmade depressions.
Apply 5 pounds per acre for permanent water sites, such as, ornamental ponds and fountains, fish ponds, cattail marshes, water hyacinth beds, flooded crypts, transformer vaults, abandoned swimming pools, construction and other manmade depressions, tree holes, and other artificial water-holding containers.

ALTOSID Pellets WSP are effective against a wide range of mosquito species including Culex, the primary vector of West Nile virus. Pouches are best utilized when treating small bodies of water such as: catch basins, storm drains, roadside ditches, tree holes, flooded crypts, transformer pits, fish ponds, woodland pools, fountains, septic tanks, ornamental ponds, man made depressions, animal water troughs, ditches and other natural or artificial water holding containers.
Place one pouch into each catch basin. For other mosquito breeding sites, one pouch will treat up to 135 ft2 of surface area. ALTOSID Pellets WSP will provide up to 30 days control of emerging adult mosquitoes.
