Strike® Midge Control

Strike® Midge Control (Liquid) is a highly effective microencapsulated liquid formulation designed to manage midge and filter fly populations in wastewater facilities. Perfect for facilities where standing water or wastewater is prevalent, this advanced solution ensures comprehensive control throughout the treatment process.

Key Features:

  • Microencapsulated Technology: The active ingredient in Strike® is protected and time-released, providing prolonged effectiveness and the ability to control midges even in the most challenging environments.
  • Extended Downfield Control: Ideal for wastewater treatment plants, Strike® delivers effective treatment to all breeding sites, ensuring thorough coverage and control across the facility.
  • Optimized Application: To achieve the best results, introduce Strike® to the wastewater flow after the sand and grit have been removed, but upstream of midge breeding areas. This allows the product to mix and distribute evenly before reaching the primary clarifiers.
  • Application Rate: Apply Strike® Liquid at a rate of 5 fluid ounces per million gallons of sewage flow passing the injection point.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive Midge Control: Targets chironomid midges at various stages of their lifecycle, providing effective treatment throughout the wastewater treatment process.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for both secondary and, depending on holding times and flow, tertiary treatment stages. If control is not achieved in tertiary filters, consider additional injection points or supplement with Strike® pellets.
  • Efficient Treatment: Ensures that the active ingredient reaches all necessary areas, offering reliable midge and filter fly management in challenging wastewater environments.

Usage Instructions:

  1. Injection Point: Add Strike® Liquid to the wastewater flow after the removal of sand and grit, but before primary clarifiers.
  2. Mixing and Distribution: Ensure the product is introduced far enough ahead to allow proper mixing and distribution.
  3. Rate of Application: Use 5 fluid ounces of Strike® Liquid per million gallons of sewage flow passing the injection point.

Strike® Midge Control delivers unparalleled effectiveness and convenience, making it the ideal choice for managing midge and filter fly populations in wastewater treatment facilities.

"We learned about Strike® Liquid and that it was the only product approved by the EPA to control midge flies in our particular application. We have been using it successfully ever since."
