As stated in an article published online, Rentokil, larviciding is a treatment to control the

development of mosquitos’ larvae.In addition, larvicide treatment at mosquitoes

hotspots can help to reduce its infestation. A thorough inspection for any potential
breeding ground will be conducted before we carry out the larvicide treatment.

Larvicides are products to help control mosquitoes outside your home. They work by
killing mosquito larvae and pupae before they can grow into biting adults. When used
according to product label instruction, larvicides do not harm people, pests or the
environment, it is according to journal online published in 2016, Mosquito Online: You
have Options.

E.W. Gray, R. Fusco mentioned on his article Microbial Control of Insect and Mite Pests
published in 2017 that,

Larvicides based on Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis are the instruments of

choice for the suppression of nuisance and vector black fly populations. The success of
Bti-based larvicides has led to a significant decline in research into other materials that
could be used against black fly populations.

Based from the article Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue, Tim Antonelli et.al
(2016) stated that The most commonly used techniques for dengue control include
chemical control in the form of either larvicide in water sources or adulticide applied via
indoor residual spraying (IRS) or aspiration packs; and cultural control in the form of
recruiting communities to empty containers of standing water that may serve as larval-
rearing sites.
