Mosquitoes are dangerous transmitters of disease. Each year, about 300 million people are infected with diseases such as Malaria and Zika and nearly one million people die. Other deadly mosquito-vectored diseases are West Nile fever and Dengue.
Microbial mosquito larvicides have gained considerable acceptance in recent years.
Magalit® is a biolarvicide to control mosquitos larvae in stagnant
water in a water dispersible granule formulation (WDG).
Magalit® is based on a Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) preparation. It can be applied by ground or aerial spraying on infected water surfaces.
Magalit® offers extended control of all Aedes species, and has
been found to be effective against the following species:
