Larvex 100 Larvicide 1L – Mosquito Larvae Killer for Water Treatment and Vector Control

Larvex 100 Larvicide 1L is a highly effective larvicidal formulation designed to target and eliminate mosquito larvae in their aquatic stages before they mature into adult, disease-spreading insects. Specially engineered for use in stagnant water, this product plays a crucial role in integrated mosquito control programs. Its active ingredient disrupts the growth process of mosquito larvae, ensuring that they never reach the adult, biting stage. By stopping mosquito breeding at the source, Larvex 100 protects homes, institutions, and communities from outbreaks of malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and other mosquito-borne diseases.

Suitable for residential, commercial, agricultural, and public health use, Larvex 100 Larvicide is a vital tool for any comprehensive pest control strategy, particularly in tropical climates like Kenya where mosquito populations are high and persistent.

What Is Larvex 100 Larvicide 1L?

Larvex 100 is a concentrated insect growth regulator (IGR)-based larvicide formulated as a liquid. It is applied to mosquito breeding sites such as stagnant water pools, marshes, open drains, septic overflows, water troughs, and ponds. It acts on the larval stage of the mosquito’s life cycle by interrupting molting processes, causing larvae to die before they can pupate or turn into biting adults.

Target Species

• • Anopheles mosquitoes (malaria carriers)
• • Aedes mosquitoes (dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya vectors)
• • Culex mosquitoes (encephalitis and filariasis vectors)

Key Features of Larvex 100

• • Breaks the mosquito life cycle at the larval stage, preventing adult emergence
• • Long-lasting effects with residual action for up to 3 weeks
• • Safe for use in water bodies that do not support human drinking
• • Minimizes adulticide dependence by preventing new generations
• • Low toxicity to non-target species when used as directed
• • Cost-effective for wide-area mosquito control campaigns

Where to Use Larvex 100 Larvicide

This product is ideal for any mosquito-prone area with water bodies or wet conditions:

• • Open drains and blocked drainage systems
• • Roadside ditches and flood-prone areas
• • Septic tank overflows
• • Irrigation furrows and shallow ponds
• • Construction sites and poorly drained foundations
• • Animal troughs and fishponds (check compatibility)

How It Works

Larvex 100 Larvicide 1L contains a larvicide compound that interferes with the normal development of mosquito larvae. Once applied to the water surface, it begins disrupting hormone balances and molting signals in the larvae. This either halts their development into pupae or leads to death shortly after exposure. As a result, mosquito populations are controlled at their root, before the insects become flying, disease-carrying adults.

Benefits of Using Larvex 100 Larvicide

• • Eliminates larvae before they can emerge into adult mosquitoes
• • Reduces disease transmission at the source
• • Safer for use in environmentally sensitive zones than broad-spectrum pesticides
• • Reduces need for constant fogging and spraying of adult mosquitoes
• • Enhances public health efforts and environmental hygiene

How to Apply Larvex 100 Larvicide 1L

Use as directed on the label. Below are general application guidelines:

For Stagnant Water:

• • Mix 10–20ml of Larvex 100 per 1000L of stagnant water
• • Apply uniformly over the water surface using a knapsack sprayer or watering can
• • Reapply every 2–3 weeks or after heavy rains

For Drainage Channels:

• • Apply along the edges and midline of the channel
• • Use higher concentration (20–30ml per 1000L) for highly infested areas

For Animal Troughs:

• • Use 1–2ml per 100L of water
• • Ensure the water is not used for human drinking

Application Frequency

Apply every 14–21 days depending on the severity of infestation and water flow. In rain-prone seasons, reapplication may be needed weekly.

Environmental Safety

Larvex 100 is designed to be environmentally friendly when used according to instructions. It poses minimal risk to fish and aquatic life in low concentrations. However, always confirm local regulations and environmental considerations, especially when using near fishponds or wetlands. The product degrades over time and leaves no toxic residue when used properly.

Health Impact of Mosquito-Borne Diseases in Kenya

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malaria remains one of the top causes of illness and death in Kenya. The spread of dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever is also increasing due to climate change and poor drainage. By using larvicides like Larvex 100, communities can drastically reduce mosquito populations and control these diseases before they begin.
