Altosid 30 Day Briquets, manufactured by Zoecon, are solid and cork-shaped insect growth regulator (IGR) briquets designed to kill mosquito larvae in standing water before they develop into breeding, biting adults. 

This ready to use product contains (S)-Methoprene 1.5%, which effectively kills mosquitoes before they hatch or makes them genetically deformed so they can't mature to the pupal stage.

Altosid 30 Day Briquets provides convenient applications just by being simply placed into small standing water bodes without consistent reapplication. Once applied, this slow-release product gives total backyard mosquito control without fear of harming exisiting aquatic life. Each pack contains 100 Altosid briquets with 1 briquet being able to cover 100 sq. ft. of surface area for up to 30 days, effectively saving you time and money. 

Tools Needed

Altosid 30 Day Briquets comes ready to use with no tool required for its application.

How to Use

  • Step 1: Analyze your yard and observe the area where you see stagnant water or water accumulation. Measure the square footage and depth of the area to determine how many Altosid Briquets you need. 1 Altosid Briquet can cover a 100 sq ft area up to 2 feet deep.
  • Step 2: Using the application rate table which comes on the product label, measure and then scatter the suggested amount of Altosid 30 Day Briquets evenly over the surface of the water to be treated. The granules put a stop to mosquito larvae transitioning into adults, including those which may transmit harmful diseases such as West Nile and the Zika virus. Altosid can work for up to 30 days after application.
  • Step 3: For continued mosquito control, you should apply Altosid Briquets every 30 days throughout the active mosquito season.

Where to Use

Altosid 30 Day Briquets should be applied in water where mosquitoes breed. For example, storm drains, catch basins, roadside ditches, fish ponds, ornamental ponds and fountains, other artificial water-holding containers, animal watering troughs, cesspools and septic tanks, waste treatment and settling ponds, flooded crypts, transformer vaults, abandoned swimming pools, tires, construction and other manmade depressions, cattail marshes, waterhyacinth beds, vegetation-choked phosphate pits, pastures, meadows, rice fields, freshwater swamps and marshes, salt and tidal marshes, treeholes, woodland pools, floodplains, and dredging spoil sites. For application sites connected by a water system, i.e., storm drains or catch basins, treat all of the water holding sites in the system to maximize the efficiency of the treatment program.

When to Use

Altosid 30 Day Briquets should be used at the beginning of the mosquito season especially after rainfall when there may be a lot of different areas around your yard where water has accumulated (bird baths, puddles, ditches, old tires etc.) You may use this product as pre-flood treatment prior to wetting events.

Safety Information

Altosid 30 Day Briquets is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying this product.

Keep out of reach of children.

Special Considerations

If briquets become covered by obstructions such as debris, vegetation, and loose sediment as a result of high rainfall or flow, normal dispersion of the active ingredient can be inhibited. Water flow may increase the dissolution of the briquet thus reducing the residual life of the briquet.
