ABATE larvicide controls malaria and other vector-borne diseases by controlling the pests that spread them. ABATE is a potent larvicide (temephos) that effectively manages a broad spectrum of nuisance and disease-causing insects, such as mosquitoes, before they hatch.
Why Use ABATE?
BASF ABATE is the original and most trusted larvicide brand.
How Does It Work?
When applied to standing water where mosquitoes and other insects breed, ABATE kills the larvae before they develop into mature insects. In effect, it short-circuits the cycle that disseminates the pathogen to humans.
Community Safety Is Top Priority
When fighting vector-borne disease, it is imperative that the insect-control products do not pose unnecessary risk to the population they are working to protect. That’s why ABATE offers added peace of mind. ABATE is highly effective at low use-rates. When used according to label directions, ABATE poses low risk to humans, fish, birds and other non-target organisms.
ABATE Works Fast and Lasts Long
ABATE can quickly control mosquito and other insect populations because it kills insect larvae before they mature. Then, the residual activity of ABATE continues to prevent insect populations from returning for weeks. In addition, because ABATE is a different chemistry from pyrethroid sprays that target only mature insects, it works to greatly reduce the chances of resistance that can compromise the overall insect-control efforts.
