New Product to Help Stop the Spread of West Nile Virus
Larvae Halt II, containing bacillus sphaericus, is an environmentally friendly way to kill mosquito larvae before they emerge as adults that carry the West Nile Virus and other diseases.
West Des Moines, IA (PRWEB) May 4, 2005 -- OriginalUdderBalm.com expands its
product offering with Larvae Halt II, a new weapon in the effort to control
mosquitoes that spread West Nile Virus. Anyone with standing water on their
property such as farmers, golf courses, homeowners, and municipalities who are
concerned about the mosquito population and the spread of West Nile Virus should
know about Larvae Halt II.
Up to now, the options for minimizing the
mosquito population have included Bti, another larvicide that kills mosquito
larvae in clean water, and adulticiding which involves applying chemicals on the
ground or in the air in order to kill adult mosquitoes. Now there is Larvae Halt
II, which contains a naturally occurring bacterium that is target specific
(mosquito larvae) but will not harm humans, pets, horses, fish, or the
environment.
“Larvae Halt II with Bsph is different from the Bti in that
it kills mosquito larvae in organically polluted waters such as storm
water/drainage systems, seepage ponds, wastewater, marine & costal areas,
water troughs, and waste tires while being environmentally safe,” says Mark J.
Hoag, co-owner of OriginalUdderBalm.com. “Larviciding is the next best thing to
permanently reducing the areas in which mosquitoes breed. It makes more sense to
treat a 100 acre mosquito larvae source then to wait till the adult mosquitoes
spread out and you have to spray a 7,200 acre area.”
Larvae Halt II
gives long term control, produces predictable, effective results, works within
24 to 48 hours, is particularly effective against all Culex species (they carry
the West Nile Virus), recycles in the environment, and is unaffected by polluted
(organic) water.

Halt II is available for immediate shipment in 10-pound pails and packages
containing 6 or 40 water-soluble packs.
