Various agents can be used in larviciding, including:
- Chemical Larvicides: These are synthetic chemicals such as temephos, methoprene, and pyriproxyfen that effectively kill larvae. - Biological Larvicides: These include naturally occurring bacteria like *Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis* (Bti) and *Bacillus sphaericus*, which target mosquito larvae without harming other aquatic organisms. - Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): These disrupt the development of larvae, preventing them from reaching adulthood.
