Mosquito BioControl

Advanced biological mosquito larvae control using live Heterorhabditis megidis nematodes with symbiotic bacteria — eliminates mosquito larvae in standing water within 48 hours, with no risk to mammals, plants or pollinators.

Vegalab Mosquito BioControl
Non-toxic to mammals, plants and pollinators

Mosquito BioControl is a biological control product that deploys live Heterorhabditis megidis entomopathogenic nematodes and their symbiotic bacteria directly into aquatic environments where mosquito larvae breed. The nematodes actively seek out and infect larvae in standing and stagnant water, killing them within 48 hours through a natural parasitic process that produces no chemical residues. Safe for aerial spraying in heavily infested zones, the product is fully compatible with integrated pest management programmes and eliminates concerns about groundwater contamination and harm to beneficial pollinators.

Key benefits
  • Kills mosquito larvae (Culicidae family) within 48 hours of application.
  • Live Heterorhabditis megidis nematodes — natural biological control with symbiotic bacteria.
  • Non-toxic to mammals, plants and pollinators; no groundwater contamination risk.
  • Suitable for aerial spraying over large, heavily infested water bodies.
  • Multiple application methods: aerial, spot treatment, machinery or hand application.
  • Effective in standing water, ponds, rice paddies, irrigation canals and drainage ditches.
