- Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance; they are
becoming a serious health threat to people and pets. With just one bite,
mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus and other viruses that cause
encephalitis. They can also transmit heart worm disease to dogs and
cats. Pre Strike Mosquitoes Larvicide kills developing mosquitoes before

because the Culex species of mosquito, a common carrier of West Nile
virus in the United States, has a limited flight range, homeowners can
help reduce the population around their property simply by eliminating
or treating any stagnant water. Stagnant water can serve as a breeding
ground for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
In response to increasing public concern, ZoeconŽ, a division
of Wellmark International, developed Altosid Pro-G IGR Mosquito Control product
that kills developing mosquitoes before they emerge as breeding, biting
adults by using insect growth regulator technology. Available in a
granule form, the product can be easily applied in areas where mosquitoes
may breed to provide protection.
