Product Information

No two mosquito habitats are alike - and neither are the ways you treat them. That's why there are a variety of ALTOSID® formulations. Each provides the extended control you need in easy-to-access or difficult-to-treat areas. ALTOSID formulations are labeled for use in known fish habitats. That means they prevent the emergence of breeding, biting adults without upsetting the food chain or impacting non-target species. So you're ensured consistent control - and peace of mind.

Target-specific control.

Unlike conventional pesticides, each ALTOSID formulation contains
(S)-Methoprene, an insect growth regulator (IGR) that stops mosquitos from becoming breeding, biting adults. (S)-Methoprene is target-specific, and will not affect fish, waterfowl, mammals or beneficial predatory insects. As a result, you can feel comfortable using ALTOSID in your district's most sensitive areas. And you'll feel even better about the effective, long-term control you'll get in return.

Best of all, the (S)-Methoprene in ALTOSID products has the industry's lowest toxicity rating. So you get complete control, without additional worries. Furthermore, residual larvicidal activity reduces adult populations and the need for adulticides.

Briquets

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. For habitats that need the most control and are difficult to treat, a single application of ALTOSID XR-Briquets offers up to 150 days of control.

Liquid

A liquid larvicide is an effective and flexible formulation that fits any mosquito control program. ALTOSID Liquid Larvicide (SR-5) and ALTOSID Liquid Larvicide Concentrate (SR-20) meet that description – and provide exceptional performance.

Pellets

Where successive mosquito broods make other granular products ineffective or costly, a single application of ALTOSID Pellets provides slow-dissolving, extended control for up to 30 days in submerged conditions. Pellets can be used preflood or in intermittently flooded areas. ALTOSID Pellets WSP provides the same control but in a convenient water soluble pouch.

Granules

It's never been easier, thanks to ALTOSID XR-G and ALTOSID SBG. Both are ideal for large aerial applications, and offer all the benefits you expect from Altosid. The difference? XR-G provides an extended residual of up to 21 days, while Altosid SBG targets single-brood applications requiring only a short-term residual.
