FAQ
What is Insecta Repel used for?
Insecta Repel is used as a biological larvicide for controlling larvae of mosquitoes, fungus gnats, and blackflies. It helps reduce pest populations at the larval stage before they develop into adults.
How does Insecta Repel work?
Insecta Repel contains Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis — Bti. Susceptible larvae ingest the Bti toxins, which then act inside the larval gut and disrupt normal feeding and development, leading to larval control.
Which larvae can Insecta Repel control?
Insecta Repel is positioned for the control of mosquito larvae, fungus gnat larvae, and blackfly larvae. These pests are commonly associated with water bodies, moist growing media, nurseries, greenhouses, and other breeding environments.
Where can Insecta Repel be applied?
Insecta Repel can be applied in areas where target larvae are present, including mosquito breeding sites, standing or slow-moving water, drains, ponds, ditches, nursery areas, greenhouse production systems, and moist growing media where fungus gnat larvae may develop.
How should Insecta Repel be applied?
Apply Insecta Repel according to the recommended dosage for the target pest and application site. For larval control, the product should be distributed uniformly over the treated area or larval breeding zone to ensure the larvae come into contact with and ingest the active material.
Can Insecta Repel be used through a drip system?
Insecta Repel is primarily intended for larval control in breeding sites or moist growing zones. Use through drip systems should only be considered if the formulation is confirmed to be compatible with the irrigation system and if the application target is fungus gnat larvae or similar pests in the growing media. For mosquito and blackfly larvae, direct application to the breeding site is normally more appropriate.
Is Insecta Repel biodegradable?
Yes. Insecta Repel is a biological Bti-based product and is intended for environmentally responsible pest management. It does not leave harmful chemical residues and supports biological control programs.
Key Benefits
Targeted Larval Control
Insecta Repel is designed to control larvae of mosquitoes, fungus gnats, and blackflies using Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis — Bti — a biological active known for targeted larval activity.
Biological Mode of Action
The product works through Bti toxins that are ingested by susceptible larvae. Once consumed, these active compounds disrupt the larval digestive system, helping reduce pest populations before they reach the adult stage.
Helps Reduce Mosquito Pressure
By targeting mosquito larvae in breeding sites, Insecta Repel supports mosquito management programs and helps reduce the risk of adult mosquito emergence.
Suitable for Integrated Pest Management
Insecta Repel can be used as part of an IPM program where biological control, monitoring, sanitation, and habitat management are combined for more sustainable pest control.
Residue-Free Crop Protection
Insecta Repel leaves no harmful chemical residue, making it suitable for environmentally responsible pest management and organic-oriented production systems.
Selective and Environmentally Safer
Its selective action helps minimize impact on non-target organisms, supporting biodiversity and reducing pressure from broad-spectrum chemical insecticides.
Flexible Packaging Options
Available in pouch, bottle, 1 litre bottle, and bulk order formats, making it suitable for different operational scales.
