Vectobac and Bactimos corn cob granules were evaluated for control of Aedes (A. canadensis, A. provocans, A. stimulans) larvae in woodland pools in Michigan, USA. No significant differences were seen between the 2 formulations. Both provided >90% control at application rates as low as 100 mg/msuperscript 2 (0.89 lb/acre) and greater than 98% control at label-specified field application rates (2.5 or 5 lb/acre).
