SPLAT BAC is a product under development that targets pregnant females and larvae, making larval habitats unproductive. SPLAT BAC protects and slowly releases a natural larvicide together with attractants and feeding stimulants that lasts for months in the field. SPLAT BAC induces pregnant females to preferentially lay their eggs in treated areas, reducing the need to cover every breeding site for effective control.
