The
Argo This
amphibious all-terrain vehicle is the most productive of our fleet.
It resembles a tank due to its tracked wheel system and skid steering
mechanics. The tracks reduce the ground pressure of less than 0.5
psi, making the vehicle excellent for travel through the muddy marshes
of the Petitcodiac River.
Ponds and channels pose no problem since the vehicle floats and can
propel itself through small bodies of water.
Thebroadcast spreader mounted on the rear can be calibrated to distribute
the desired amount of Larvicides to the breeding grounds.

Gator
This is the most popular trail vehicle for the park systems.
There is adequate cargo space and ease of operation.
The
Gator can also be used to transport materials to hand application teams.
Air
Turbine
The turbine
is mounted on a backpack frame and is capable of spreading larvicides up
to 25 feet away from the operator. This equipment can be utilized in areas
such as roadside ditches and small marshy areas.
Hand
The most effective means of applying the larvicides is still by hand. This
allows the applicators to apply Bt to only those areas that require it,
ensuring adequate and justified applications.
