Top 10 Things to Know: Clarke

Mosquito larviciding can build your business while helping customers better enjoy their yards and outdoor spaces by reducing nuisance mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus.

1. Larviciding Stops Mosquitoes Before They Bite

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and most yards and green spaces have multiple sites where water collects during the warm season. Larvicides like Natular® attack mosquitoes while in the larval stage — before they emerge as flying, biting adults. 

2. Natular is Naturally Derived Control for Mosquitoes

Natular’s active ingredient, Spinosad, is derived from a naturally occurring soil organism and formulated to control the larvae of 20 mosquito species, including Aedes, Anopheles and Culex, and is registered under the EPA’s Reduced Risk program. 

3. Quick Impact, Long Lasting

Unlike IGRs, the top effervescent layer of Natular DT kills more than 95 percent of larvae present in water containers within 24 hours, then its second layer maintains that control for 60 days.

4. Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI) Listed®

Natular G30 can be used in and around organic farms and gardens and in sensitive backyard environments, giving peace of mind to customers. 

5. Two Formulations for PCOs

Dual-layer Natular DT tablets and Natular G30 granules provide consistent control in containers, standing water and other mosquito breeding areas. Plus, the DT tablets pair well with MosquitoCon receptacles. 

6. Minimal PPE to Apply

Natular products require minimal PPE to apply, making it easy for PMPs to add to their mosquito control offerings.

7. Made in the USA

American-sourced Spinosad is used to formulate and manufacture the Natular® products in the United States.

8. The Gold Standard of Larviciding

Used by government agencies around the world, Natular has been tested in virtually every climate, terrain and environment with proven, reliable efficacy for more than 15 years.

9. Winner of the U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Award

Clarke was recognized by the EPA for developing Natular as “the first new, chemical larvicide for mosquito control in decades; it meets the highest standards for environmental stewardship and offers a new choice for Integrated Mosquito Management.”
