MosquitoMax Introduces Automatic Larvicide Dispensing Device

HOUSTON — MosquitoMax has invented a patent-pending automatic larvicide dispensing device that works year-round to eliminate mosquito larva in catch basins, French drains, culverts, drainage systems and other places that hold standing water. Called the Larvanator ALD-365, the product is for use in residential yard spaces, as well as parks, playgrounds, golf courses, school grounds and municipal storm drain infrastructure. 

 

The Larvanator ALD-365 fastens quickly to the underside of any catch basin cover and automatically dispenses a professional grade insect growth into the catch basin every 30 days once activated. It runs on one 9-volt battery, which is replaced once per year. The constant presence of larvicide kills mosquito larva, preventing them from becoming adult mosquitoes. 

 

The Larvanator was developed in response to a problem the company found when identifying the source of breeding mosquitoes. Even after aerial spraying to control adult mosquitoes, larvae was clearly visible in drains that held standing water. The only solution at the time was to apply larvicide granules by hand. Said inventor Jeff White, "This invention is a game changer for the industry. It eliminates larva growth where it's installed, which reduces the need to spray for adult mosquitoes. You can't always eliminate the water source, so you must treat it. When you treat the source of the problem, you have a good foundation for a successful integrated mosquito management program.”
