- VectoBac 12 AS is a specialized biological insecticide containing the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, which effectively controls mosquito larvae in marshes, water bodies and drains. Its mode of action is biological: the bacteria produce crystal proteins that kill mosquito larvae by attacking their gut wall, causing fast and safe death without affecting non-target organisms such as fish or birds.
Key Features:
- Environmentally safe biological product that poses no risk to humans or animals.
- Effective against all types of mosquito larvae in various aquatic environments.
- Approved by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA).
- Part of integrated mosquito management programs.
- Leaves no harmful residues in water or soil.
