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 ecacy and environmental stewardship.
The DT tablet’s two-layer design includes an eervescent layer that quickly
releases the active ingredient spinosad, while the second layer releases
slowly, providing up to 60 days of control.

single application.”
