Description
SilMax is a liquid silicone for controlling mosquito larvae and pupae in standing water. It spreads rapidly across the water surface — even on large water bodies — forming a very thin film. The film's very low surface tension stops larvae and pupae from attaching at the surface to breathe, and discourages female mosquitoes from laying eggs on treated water, interrupting the mosquito life cycle.
