Short Description:
VECTOMAX
TM is a unique biological larvicide that
combines Bti and Bacillus sphaericus in one homogenous formulation.
These two bacteria are combined in one molecule which ensures that
larvae feed on both at the same time. VECTOMAX offers the faster,
broad spectrum control of VectoBac
® (Bti), with the residual
control of VectoLex
® (B. Sphaericus).
Active Ingredient:
Bacillus thurengiensis, iraelensis and
Bacillus sphaericus
Mode of Action:
Bti and
B. Sphaericus are naturally occurring
bacteria that have insecticidal activity on mosquitoes. This bacteria
contain protein crystals that, when ingested by mosquito larvae, will rupture
the gut wall or the larvae. This results in rapid death of the larvae.
