Altosid Liquid Larvicide prevents mosquito emergence with (S)-methoprene as an insect growth regulator (IGR). Apply this microencapsulated formula to the larvae forms to stop the mosquito growth to the adult stages. The treated larvae ( 2nd, 3rd, or 4th larval instars ) will continue normal development to the pupae state, where the mosquito growth is halted. Altosid Liquid Larvicide will not effect adult or pupae stages, just the larvae stages.

Apply 3 to 4 fl oz of Altoside Liquid Larvidide per acre (219 to 293 ml/ hectare) in water as directed.
Application
Ground: Determine the average spray volume used per acre by individual operators and/or specific equipment. Mix A.ltosid Liquid Lavaicid in the appropriate volume of water to give the rate per acre as indicated below.
For Control of Mosquito Larvae Using ULV Application: For ground and aerial application to terrestrial sites, apply at the rate of 3-4 fluid ounces of product per acre to water- holding containers and other small bodies of water that breed mosquitoes. Use equipment capable of applying a fine mist or ULV. Follow equipment manufacturer’s recommendations when making applications.
Direct spray applications to sites where mosquitoes breed. These sites include: tires and tire piles, potted plants, tree holes, garbage bins, cans, birdbaths, rain barrels, and other water-holding containers and small bodies of water.
