Neporex 2 WSG Larvicide
Neporex 2 WSG is a water‑soluble granule larvicide formulated for treating standing water, manure lagoons and other larval habitats commonly found around stables and pastures, delivering targeted larval control that reduces future adult populations. Its financial advantage is the ability to prevent outbreaks at source—lowering long‑term control costs compared with repeated adulticide sprays—and it functions as an ideal partner to adulticides like UltraShield EX and Cykick CS for comprehensive site management.
