Sumilarv® 0.5G is an insect growth regulator (Group 7C) that prevents emergence of adult mosquitoes by disrupting development at the pupal stage. This sand granule formulation allows for flexible dosing applications, and the granules stay where they are placed, remaining effective through rain and temperature changes. Effective at low dose rates, Sumilarv is ideal for catch basins, retention ponds and other breeding sites.

Sumilarv® 0.5G FAQs

When should I use Sumilarv® 0.5G instead of NyGuard® IGR?

Sumilarv® is intended for use in wet substrates such as lagoons. NyGuard® may be applied in both wet and dry substrates, such as dirt and manure.

Where should I use Sumilarv®?

Sumilarv® may be applied in any water body that does not feed into a natural water source. Examples around the farm include ditches, creeks, tanks that do not water livestock, lagoons, natural bodies of water and manure pits.

How does Sumilarv® fit into my treatment protocol?

As an insect growth regulator (IGR), Sumilarv® will compliment your adulticide treatments for mosquito control. IGRs work to keep mosquitoes in the immature larval stage and will kill them before they reach adulthood. Over time, improved control will be observed due to fewer adult mosquitoes.

Does Sumilarv® control any insects besides mosquitoes?

At this time, Sumilarv® is only labeled for control of mosquitoes.

How often do I need to use Sumilarv®?

Monitoring control of the mosquito population is the best guide to re-application. Frequency of application will depend on three factors: dose rate, water quality (e.g. pollution) and dilution caused by rainfall or removal and replenishment of water within the treatment site.
