NATULAR DT

LARVICIDE TABLETS

A revolutionary product to control mosquito larvae

UNIQUE MODE OF

ACTION >>

Spinosad is an IRAC Group 5 insecticide with a unique

mode of action, compared to all other public health

larvicides. Rotating products and modes of action in

your control program is responsible stewardship, aids

in resistance management, and extends the useful life

of all products.

Natular® DT is an easy-to-use, bi-layer tablet that prevents mosquito

larvae from becoming biting adults. Perfectly suited for addressing

container-breeding species and common breeding sites around residential

and commercial properties, the Natular DT tablet has helped hundreds

of districts and communities in their ﬁght against domestic mosquito

breeding. As part of the Natular product line, DTs are a trusted tool that

delivers an exceptional balance of ecacy and environmental stewardship.

The DT tablet’s two-layer design includes an eervescent layer that quickly

releases the active ingredient spinosad, while the second layer releases

slowly, providing up to 60 days of control.

single application.”
