Mosquito Torpedos Will Kill Those Pesky Insects Once And For All
If you’re in the business of providing insect control you probably know of at least one customer who was looking for a way to get rid of mosquitoes. What do you tell them? Is there something you can offer them to get rid of these pesky, blood-sucking beasts? Fortunately there is a product Spalding Labs distributes called PreStrike Mosquito Torpedo. The product is a tablet shaped like a fish you can place in any locations where standing water is a problem in order to prevent the mosquitoes from reproducing. If you are familiar with the very common Bti mosquito dunks that are available for purchase in hardware stores, you will be extremely happy with the Mosquito Torpedo. How major of a difference can you expect from Mosquito Torpedoes compared to Bti dunks? You will be surprised to learn how much of a difference it will make when you choose the Mosquito Torpedoes from Spalding Labs. The Bti dunks eliminate approximately thirty-five percent of the mosquito population while the Mosquito Torpedoes eliminate a hefty ninety-five percent. The only thing you need to do is drop the tablets into any sources of standing water, and you will be free of mosquitoes for two solid months.
Eliminate Your Mosquito Problem for Good
If you own horses there are two distinct advantages you have by using Spalding-Labs Mosquito Torpedoes:
- Unlike the dunks, Mosquito Torpedoes are EPA approved for placement in the drinking water of your animals. Since they sink to the bottom of the water you don’t have to be concerned about your horses or other animals trying to eat them. Mosquito Torpedoes do not affect the water by causing cloudiness or causing the formation of particles on its surface like Bti dunks do. Professional mosquito control agents, FEMA, DOD and County Mosquito Abatement Districts have been using the torpedoes for many years, but they are difficult to find in normal retail outlets.
- Mosquito Torpedoes from Spalding Labs contain S-Methoprene which is an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator). Unlike repellents that only kill the adult mosquitoes, IGRs affect them at every stage of life prior to them entering the world as adult mosquitoes. In other words these products eliminate the ability of the mosquitoes to proceed through the various stages in order to enter adulthood. Another good thing about mosquito torpedoes is they only affect mosquitoes, so they are safe for any creature with a spine including people, livestock, fish, frogs, birds and all similar living things. The torpedoes have been approved for use in stock tanks in the United States and also in the human drinking water in those tropical countries that have severe mosquito problems that may ultimately lead to an epidemic of malaria.
The Mosquito Torpedo by Spalding Labs is so easy to use and one tablet will provide protection for up to sixty days in bodies of water up to 100 square feet and no deeper than a depth of two feet---this translates into 1500 gallons of water. If your pond or other water source is larger than that, you will need to add another Torpedo. If you need to use the Torpedoes in a body of water that is smaller than 1500 gallons such as a horse trough, bird bath or smaller pond, you may discover the Torpedo will last much longer, maybe even the entire summer.
You don’t need to be concerned about whether the Mosquito Torpedo is still working. As it releases S-Methoprene the tablet becomes smaller. As long as the tablet is still visible it is providing protection against the pesky mosquitoes. Another very nice feature of this product is even if the source of water dries out it will begin the protection cycle again as soon as the tank or pond has water again. This is another advantage you will see with this Spalding Labs product that is not present in the dunk.
Controlling mosquitoes is an essential part of keeping animals and other living animals and humans happy and free of disease. Spalding-Labs provides the perfect solution to the problem with Mosquito Torpedoes that contain S-Methoprene in order to prevent these pesky insects from completing the life style process and becoming adults. The Torpedoes go beyond just killing adult mosquitoes, a process that could take a great deal of time and is less effective than preventing the mosquito larvae from becoming adults in the first place.
In addition to having effective mosquito control it is also important to choose products that are healthy for animals and humans. Since the S-Methoprene in the Spalding-Labs Torpedoes only attacks the mosquitoes and no living creatures with spines, it is safe to use around humans, dogs, cats, birds and other living things. This safety feature also means you can use the tablets in drinking water in order to further control the mosquito population.
