Altosid®
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 our pioneering active ingredient, (S)-methoprene, an innovative insect growth regulator (IGR) that stops mosquitoes from becoming breeding, biting adults. Our breakthrough discovery invented a new class of mosquito control over 50 years ago that we continue to enhance and expand to this day. Our U.S.-made (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® products 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, our (S)-methoprene in Altosid® products has an excellent toxicity profile. So you get complete control without additional worries. Furthermore, residual larvicidal activity reduces adult populations and the need for adulticides.
