The VectoLex, VectoBac and Bactimos Advantage
The beauty of these products is their specific action. Bti and Bsph attack the larvae of mosquitoes leaving beneficial insects and other organisms virtually unaffected. In addition, tests have shown Bti and Bsph to have little effect on plants, fish or other organisms that live in the water.
Because of their specificity, these products are well-suited for use in cities, suburbs, recreational sites, and all environmentally-sensitive locations.They kill mosquitoes while preserving mosquito-eating wildlife such as fish and predatory aquatic insects that may be harmed by other insecticides.
In addition, these products appear to solve the problem of inherited resistance. Mosquitoes with natural resistance or immunity to an insecticide pass it on to their offspring. After several generations, it becomes necessary to use a different insecticide or to increase the concentration of the toxic ingredient. When used properly, VectoBac, Bactimos and VectoLex can effectively manage insecticide resistance because they give mosquito control professionals another tool to use in their fight against mosquitoes.
