Product Information
SumiLarv™ 2MR is a polymer matrix release formulation presented as a 5.5 cm diameter plastic disc weighing 2 g containing 2% w/w pyriproxyfen. SumiLarv 2MR prevents mosquito pupae from developing into flying adult mosquitoes which can later bite humans. SumiLarv 2MR has been developed by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. SumiLarv 2MR should be placed in water containers at a rate of one disc per 40-500 litres of water, depending on local registration. The disc will sink to the bottom of the container, with pyriproxyfen releasing slowly from the matrix to give a long duration of efficacy. When cleaning containers place the disc in the shade and put back into the container after refilling with water.
