Aquafix - Model AQUABACxt -Six Complex Biological Larvicide Compounds
AQUABACxt contains six complex biological larvicide compounds (called endotoxins) that are highly effective against red worms but safe for wastewater systems and their microbiology. Due to these endotoxins, it is difficult for red worms to build resistance, giving AQUABACxt an advantage over other larvicides like Strike.
- Targets Midge Flies in Wastewater:A biological larvicide specialized in controlling red worms and midge flies, breaking their life cycle in all environments.
- US EPA-Registered and Eco-Safe:Contains Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterial species safe for the ecosystem but deadly for targeted larval pests.
- Lifecycle Interruption:Specifically targets the larvae of nuisance flies without causing harm to other aquatic life or creating effluent toxicity problems.
- Effective Pest Control:Eliminates red worms and midge flies, preventing them from feeding on MLSS and disrupting the wastewater treatment process.
Biological Larvicide for Red Worm & Midge Fly Control
AquaBAC XT is a highly effective biological larvicide used to eliminate red worms and midge fly larvae in wastewater treatment facilities. Powered by Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), this EPA-registered larvicide specifically targets fly and mosquito larvae without harming beneficial bacteria or compromising wastewater treatment processes. AquaBAC XT is a trusted solution for operators facing persistent fly issues in trickling filters, clarifiers, digesters, and other high-organic-load zones.
This liquid concentrate offers fast action and can be easily applied using dosing pumps or manually distributed into problem areas. Upon ingestion by larvae, the Bti disrupts the gut lining, killing them within hours and preventing the emergence of adult flies. Unlike chemical insecticides, AquaBAC XT provides a safe, environmentally friendly approach that supports integrated pest management strategies and promotes a healthier working environment.
Operators can use AquaBAC XT as a preventive treatment or to knock down active infestations. It’s particularly effective during peak fly breeding seasons and when red worms begin to appear in biological systems. Regular use can significantly reduce filter fly populations, control odors, and improve overall system hygiene.
AquaBAC XT is the go-to larvicide for wastewater professionals who need fast, targeted, and sustainable fly control that aligns with biological treatment best practices.
AQUABACxt is a highly effective, US EPA-registered biological larvicide, but to work it must be able to reach the red worms. This is where Lar-V-Zyme comes in to aid the larvicide. Red worms will use BOD to build protective cocoons around themselves, which AQUABACxt cannot penetrate. Lar-V-Zyme is a biocatalyst that specializes in dissolving tough forms of undigested BOD. Larva-Zyme is able to easily degrade the red worm cocoons so that the AQUABACxt can fully reach the red worms.
