Why Use AQUABAC-XT

AQUA BAC XT is produced from a strain or Bacillus thuringienisis subspecies israelenisis, a naturally occurring bacterium that produces a protein. The effectiveness of all Bti formulations is due to the production of the protein. The bacterial spore has no affect on the larvicide activity.

AQUA BAC formulations are unique and specifically manufactured to enhance larvicidal effects of the protein and to ensure the toxins biological stability. The potency of AQUA BAC is controlled using specific bioassay procedure based on toxicity. Quality control bioassays are conducted prior to release of each lot to assure there is no other microbial contamination.

AQUA BAC is naturally occurring and safe to the environment. It shows no cross resistance to chemical larvicides and is especially well suited for use in areas where there is a demonstrated resistance to pyrethroids. The protein crystals do not persist in the water or soil. The protein separates from the aquatic environment and settles to the bottom. They are deactivated by becoming food for other microorganisms or being absorbed into soil or other organic particles.
