Altosid® XR-Briquets

Professional Products

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 will last the entire mosquito season, or up to 150 days, whichever is shorter. 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 re-treatments. Altosid® XR Briquets make application easier and still deliver season-long control of mosquito larvae. Application sites include stormsewers, catch basins, floodwaters, and permanent water sites. Altosid XR Briquet prevents the emergence of adult mosquitoes, including; Aedes spp., Anopheles spp., Psorophora spp., Ochlerotatus spp., Coquillettidia spp., Culex spp., Culiseta spp., Mansonia spp.
