Mosquito Control Evolved: Introducing the Power of Two with Duovex™ adulticide

The American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) Annual Meeting in March was a fantastic time to introduce our newest mosquito control innovation - Duovex™ adulticide. Now that we're home from the show, it's time to spread the word far and wide that the Power of Two is here to raise the bar in mosquito control!

As mosquitoes evolve and their impact expands, mosquito control is entering a new era where professionals face ever-changing challenges that require innovative solutions. At Central Life Sciences, real-world conditions drive such innovation, and the introduction of Duovex™ adulticide marks the next step forward in our mission!

Mosquito Control, Evolved

"Mosquito Control Evolved" is more than a slogan. It reflects a long-standing commitment to delivering solutions that meet the diverse and changing needs of mosquito control programs. We know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why Central Life Sciences continues to expand our portfolio with tools designed for flexibility, performance, and confidence in the field.

Duovex™ adulticide joins the versatile Zenivex® line, giving professionals the ability to "pick your path" with effective, reliable adulticide solutions anytime, anywhere mosquito control demands it.

The Power of Two

At the heart of this launch is a simple but powerful concept: two active ingredients working together to deliver superior results.

Duovex™ adulticide combines Deltamethrin (1.00%) and Prallethrin (1.25%) into a dual-active ingredient formulation engineered for modern pressures, modern resistance issues, and modern expectations. This advanced dual-a.i. technology targets adult mosquitoes through a complementary effect on the mode of action, supporting resistance management strategies while maintaining consistent, high-level performance.

The result is fast knockdown** and dependable control of adult mosquitoes and non-biting midges*, which is exactly what today's mosquito control professionals need when facing tough populations in challenging environments.

**within 15 minutes

*except in California

Built for Real-World Performance

Duovex™ adulticide is both innovative and practical. The formulation is designed to improve operational efficiency and adaptability across a wide range of use cases.

From urban neighborhoods to rural expanses, including agricultural crops, pasture, and rangeland, Duovex™ adulticide supports districts managing diverse habitat types. Its clean, uniform liquid formulation is easy to use, remains stable, and resists separation, helping teams move faster and operate more efficiently.

Flexibility is another key advantage. Duovex™ adulticide can be applied neat or diluted with oil or water, allowing it to fit seamlessly into different program needs, equipment setups, and environmental conditions. Whether applied through ground or aerial ULV spray systems or thermal foggers, it is effective in varied geographies and climates, making it a powerful tool for combatting mosquito-borne disease pressures.

Efficiency Meets Impact

Effectiveness doesn't have to come at the expense of efficiency. Duovex™ adulticide is designed to perform at low use rates—just 0.5 to 1.0 fluid ounces per acre—delivering an optimized cost per acre while maximizing program resource utilization. (Download the specimen label for full details.)

At the same time, it provides powerful control of mosquito species that may transmit serious pathogens, including West Nile virus, Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika virus. This combination of efficiency and impact ensures programs can do more with less, without compromising results.

Confidence in Every Application

Duovex™ adulticide brings together flexibility, consistency, and performance in one powerful solution. With its dual active ingredients, versatile application methods, and easy-to-use formulation, it equips mosquito control professionals with a next-generation tool they can rely on.

In a world where conditions are constantly changing, having the right tools makes all the difference. With Duovex™ adulticide, mosquito control has truly evolved, through the power of two!
