How Natular DT Protects Sri Lankan Homes After Cyclones & Heavy Flooding
Sri Lanka is no stranger to extreme weather, but the recent cyclone brought unprecedented levels of rainfall, flooding, and stagnant water across many districts. While communities continue to rebuild, an invisible threat is already emerging; mosquito outbreaks following floods.
When floodwaters recede, they leave behind countless small pools of stagnant water. These become breeding factories for Aedes aegypti, the mosquito responsible for spreading Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika.
This is where prevention becomes critical and where Natular DT plays a powerful role.
Why Mosquito Outbreaks Spike After Floods
Floods don’t wash mosquitoes away.
They create the perfect environment for them to multiply.
Here’s why mosquito populations explode after cyclones:
1. Increased Standing Water
Flooded gardens, gutters, rooftops, and containers retain water long after rain stops — ideal breeding sites.
2. Overflowing Drains & Waste Accumulation
Blocked drains and debris trap rainwater, creating hundreds of micro-breeding spots.
3. Disrupted Waste Management
Garbage piles and abandoned items (bottles, tires, plastic containers) collect water.
4. Unattended Homes & Buildings
During storms, many structures are left open, flooded, or unsecured — making breeding easier.
In Sri Lanka, these conditions lead to rapid, aggressive dengue outbreaks within 7–14 days after heavy rainfall.
Post-Cyclone Sri Lanka: Why Immediate Action Matters
Following the recent cyclone, public health experts warn of a surge in mosquito activity, especially in:
- Urban zones with drainage issues
- Low-lying residential areas
- Schools and construction sites
- Temporary shelters
- Flood-affected communities
The Aedes mosquito breeds in small, clean water sources; even a bottle cap can produce up to 100 larvae.
This means waiting for fumigation alone isn’t enough.
Households must act early — and act smart.
Natular DT: Your First Line of Defence After Flooding
Natular DT is a WHO-approved larvicidal tablet designed to stop mosquito larvae before they become biting adults.
After floods, when breeding surfaces multiply suddenly, Natular DT becomes one of the most effective household protection tools in Sri Lanka.
Why Natular DT Works During Flood-Triggered Outbreaks
✔ Targets Larvae — Not Just Adult Mosquitoes
Fogging kills only flying mosquitoes.
Natular DT prevents them from ever taking flight, reducing outbreaks at the source.
✔ Active Ingredient: Spinosad
A naturally derived bacterium (Saccharopolyspora spinosa) that disrupts larval nervous systems — powerful yet eco-safe.
✔ Dual-Action Formula
- Fast-acting kill
- Long-lasting 60-day protection
Perfect for flooded households and high-risk communities.
✔ Safe for Sri Lankan Homes
- Biodegradable
- Safe for plants & fish ponds
- No harmful chemicals
- Ideal for domestic use after storms
✔ WHO-Validated for Dengue Control
Globally recognized for use in integrated mosquito management programs.
Where to Use Natular DT After Floods
Drop a tablet anywhere standing water remains:
- Flowerpots & planter trays
- Water tanks & rooftop gutters
- Drainage corners
- Fish ponds & water features
- Discarded tires & containers
- Air conditioner drip trays
- Small pools around construction areas
If the water cannot be drained treat it.
Timing Matters: Take Action Within 48 Hours
Mosquito eggs hatch into larvae rapidly after flooding, often within:
24–48 hours
To prevent the next outbreak cycle:
- Treat water immediately
- Repeat treatment every 60 days
- Keep environment clear of new stagnant water
Natular DT helps Sri Lankan households stay one step ahead of flood-related disease risks.
