SmartDose
Technology
The environmental advantages
of methoprene, the active ingredient in Aquaprene formulations,
are well known, making it a control material of choice. Highly susceptible
to ultraviolet degradation, methoprene lasts only four hours
in sunlight, making it an ideal active ingredient for the environment. But
its short half life also makes it a challenge to formulate for mosquito
control. To address this challenge, Aquaprene’s scientists
have developed SmartDose controlled release technology. This
proprietary technology:
- Effectively regulates the methoprene release
rate to achieve parts-per-billion levels in water for optimal
mosquito control effectiveness
- Protects Aquaprene’s active ingredient
from ultraviolet degradation
- Releases methoprene only in water – apply
Aquaprene to dry sites weeks before flooding; the active ingredient
works when flooding occurs, often on multiple broods
You can be confident
that Aquaprene products will remain potent when mosquitoes reach
their most susceptible window—just before
pupation.
Target-specific
Unlike conventional pesticides, Aquaprene formulations contain methoprene,
an insect growth regulator (IGR) that interferes with normal mosquito
metamorphosis between the larval and adult stages. Methoprene
keeps
mosquito larvae alive and available as waterfowl food, yet prevents
them from developing into biting adults. Ultimately,
it decreases the number of annoying mosquitoes without disrupting
the food chain. Methoprene has the industry’s lowest toxicity
rating and, with its target-specific action, won’t affect fish,
waterfowl, mammals and beneficial insects.
