Flyban
A biological larvicide derived from naturally-occurring soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis var Israelensis, effectively controlling larvae populations.
Benefits
Wide Application
FlyBan works in swamps, ponds, ditches, and various water sources, controlling larvae in multiple environments.
Reduces Chemical Pesticide Use
FlyBan supports mosquito management programs, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides for a safer environment.
Non-Toxic to Non-Target Species
FlyBan is non-toxic to aquatic life, honey bees, cattle, wildlife, and humans, making it safe for ecosystems.
Effective Mosquito Larvae Control
FlyBan effectively controls mosquito larvae, including Culex, Anopheles, and Aedes species, reducing the mosquito population.

Additional Info
FlyBan is used as an effective mosquito larvicide product against Culex spp, Anopheles spp and Aedes spp. Larvicides are more effective and less toxic than adult mosquito sprays Adult mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water causing larvae proliferation which grow into adults. These adults are the carriers of dengue, malaria and chikungunya diseases.
FlyBan can be used effectively in many types of breeding sites such as fresh water, swamps, marshes, wells, drains, ditches, sewage lagoons, ponds, marshy pastures, creeks, river and streams. FlyBan is non-toxic to non-target aquatic life, honey bees, cattle, wild life and human beings.
FlyBan is available as a liquid formulation

FAQ
What is Flyban used for?
Flyban is used as a biological larvicide for controlling mosquito larvae in water-based breeding sites. It helps reduce mosquito populations before they develop into adults.
How does Flyban work against mosquito larvae?
Flyban contains Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis — Bti. When mosquito larvae ingest Bti particles, the active proteins are released in the alkaline larval gut. These proteins affect the midgut cells, causing feeding disruption, gut damage, and larval death.
Which mosquito larvae can Flyban control?
Flyban is used against the larval stages of major mosquito groups, including Culex spp., Anopheles spp., and Aedes spp.
Where can Flyban be applied?
Flyban can be applied to mosquito breeding sites such as stagnant water, ponds, swamps, marshes, drains, ditches, sewage lagoons, wells, creeks, streams, and other water bodies where mosquito larvae are present.
What is the shelf life of Flyban?
Flyban has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature and protected from direct sunlight.
Can Flyban reduce the need for chemical pesticides?
Yes. Flyban can be used as part of an integrated mosquito management program to reduce dependence on conventional chemical larvicides and adult mosquito sprays. It is especially useful when applied early, targeting larvae before they emerge as adults.
Key Benefits
Targeted Biological Larvicide
Flyban is based on Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis — Bti — a naturally occurring microbial active used for controlling mosquito larvae in water-based breeding sites.
Controls Mosquitoes at the Larval Stage
Flyban helps reduce mosquito populations before they become flying adults by targeting larvae in stagnant or slow-moving water bodies.
Effective Against Major Mosquito Groups
Flyban is suitable for larval control programs targeting Culex, Anopheles, and Aedes mosquitoes, which are associated with nuisance biting and disease transmission risks.
Suitable for Multiple Breeding Sites
Flyban can be applied in mosquito breeding habitats such as ponds, swamps, marshes, ditches, drains, sewage lagoons, creeks, streams, wells, and other water-holding areas where larvae are present.
Reduced Chemical Pesticide Dependence
As a biological larvicide, Flyban can support integrated mosquito management programs and help reduce reliance on conventional chemical pesticide applications.
Low Impact on Non-Target Organisms
When used as directed, Flyban is highly specific to target larvae and is suitable for environmentally responsible mosquito control programs.
Dosage & Application
Dosage: 0.5 – 1ml per square meter of water body
Recommended dosage is for guideline purpose only. More effective application rates may exist depending on specific circumstances.
