How To Use Altosid Pro-G Insect Growth Regulator:
Zoecon Altosid Pro-G Insect Growth Regulator releases effective levels of ALTOSID insect growth regulator for up to 30 days after application. Applications should be continued throughout the entire season to maintain adequate control. Treated larvae continue to develop normally to the pupal stage where they die.
Apply Altosid Pro-G uniformly and repeat application as necessary. Measure and then sprinkle the appropriate amount of Altosid Pro-G evenly over the surface of the water to be treated in order to control mosquitoes before they become breeding, biting adults. Measure the surface area of the water and follow the table below for the appropriate amount of product to use.
Emptying or discarding small containers that are holding water will ensure the best results. In instances where small containers cannot be emptied or discarded and for locations such as flower
pots, old tires, urns, etc. use approximately 80 granules for every gallon of water.
Application Rates:
| Amount of Product | Treatment Area (surface area – less than 2 ft deep of water) | Treatment Volume in Gallons of Water (approximate) |
| 1 cup | 2,400 sq.ft. | 9,600 |
| ¼ cup | 600 sq. ft. | 2,400 |
| 1 tbls. | 150 sq. ft. | 600 |
| ½ tbls. | 75 sq. ft. | 300 |
| 1 tsp. | 50 sq. ft. | 200 |
| ½ tsp. | 25 sq. ft. | 100 |
| ¼ tsp. | 13 sq. ft. | 50 |
| Do not use food utensils such as tablespoons or measuring cups for food purposes after use with insecticides. | ||
Application Time:
Apply Altosid Pro-G at any stage of larval mosquito development. Granules may be applied prior to flooding (i.e., “pre-hatch” or “pre-flood”) in areas which flood intermittently. In such areas, one application of Altosid® Pro-G can prevent adult mosquito emergence from several subsequent floodings. The actual length of control depends on the duration and frequency of flooding events.
Application Sites:
Non-Crop Areas: Altosid Pro-G may be applied as directed above to temporary and permanent sites which support mosquito larval development. Examples of such sites include: snow pools, salt and tidal marshes, freshwater swamps and marshes (cattail, red cedar, white maple marshes), woodland pools and meadows, dredging spoil sites, drainage areas, ditches, wastewater treatment facilities, livestock runoff lagoons, retention ponds, harvested timber stacks, swales, storm water drainage areas, sewers, catch basins, tree holes, animal watering troughs, water-holding receptacles (e.g., tires, urns, flower pots, cans, and other containers), and other natural and manmade water-holding depressions.
Crop Areas: Altosid Pro-G may be applied as directed above to temporary and permanent sites which support mosquito larval development. Examples of such sites include: irrigated croplands, pastures, rangeland, vineyards, rice fields (domestic and wild), date palm, citrus, fruit, nut orchards, berry fields and bogs.
NOTE: Application of Altosid Pro-G to sites subject to water flow or exchange will diminish the product’s effectiveness and may require higher application rates and/or more frequent applications.
