Larvicidoks can take several forms, including chemical formulations, microbial preparations, and plant-derived products. Chemical products may
Mechanisms of action vary by type. Microbial larvicides typically act after larval ingestion, releasing toxins that
Applications and considerations: Larvicidoks are used in vector-control programs, in urban and rural water-management projects, and
Regulation and safety: Products are subject to regulatory approval in many jurisdictions and require adherence to
