AQUABACxt
AQUABACxt contains six complex biological larvicide compounds (called endotoxins) that are highly effective against red worms but safe for wastewater systems and their microbiology. Due to these endotoxins, it is difficult for red worms to build resistance, giving AQUABACxt an advantage over other larvicides like Strike™.
Targets Midge Flies in Wastewater:A biological larvicide specialized in controlling red worms and midge flies, breaking their life cycle in all environments.
US EPA-Registered and Eco-Safe:Contains Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterial species safe for the ecosystem but deadly for targeted larval pests.
Lifecycle Interruption:Specifically targets the larvae of nuisance flies without causing harm to other aquatic life or creating effluent toxicity problems.
Effective Pest Control:Eliminates red worms and midge flies, preventing them from feeding on MLSS and disrupting the wastewater treatment process.

Case Studies
Case Study – UV Disinfection Room
Challenge
A 6.5 MGD wastewater treatment plant in Wisconsin was dealing with a UV disinfection room that was always covered in midge flies. The operators were constantly cleaning the room and had installed bug zappers to try and control them. Unfortunately killing the flies did no good as new ones were constantly developing in the clarifiers.
Solution
They began using our AQUABACxt to rid their system of red worms at the source without harming the good bacteria and Larva-Zyme to degrade the protective cocoons.
Results
This combination was very effective and now they have a UV building that’s not a nightmare to spend time in.
AQUABACxt – Midge Flies
Challenge
A 3MGD wastewater treatment plant in Wisconsin had an issue with blood worms and the resulting midge flies in their Hydrotech disc filters. The filters were filled with worms and it got worse every day.
Solution
They added a large amount of our AQUABACxt for Midge Flies before the filters and at the clarifiers.
Results
This took them out with one shot, and they now add a little every year to keep the midges flies out.

The only bloodworm eradication program that has exceeded my expectations. We will continue using AQUABACxt from now on.
Ashley Lynch (GA) –
I discovered Aquafix several years back when searching for a product to get rid of our midge fly larvae infestation. We were so happy with the products price and quality that we haven’t looked elsewhere since. I highly suggest giving Aquafix products a go, as you won’t be disappointed!

This product works wonders in our Wastewater plant. We can always depend on it to work towards protecting the integrity of our wastewater. It prohibits harmful bacteria from being able to do anything to your water.
Steven C. (PA) –
I have been using Aquabacxt in my plant for 5 years. When i took over managing the operations, there was a tremendous amount of Midge flies and larvae in the aeration process. It was an operational nightmare. I started dosing it and within three months, there were no signs of midge flies or the larvae. I just do small weekly maintenance doses now and have not seen a midge fly larvae in years. Definitely an added bonus to your arsenal.

Works great!
Susan H. (MD) –
We had a abundance of red worms in our SBRs. They were eating up the sludge blanket creating issues with the nutrient removal at the plant. The AQUABACxt and BUG JUICE took care of the problem and the plant is back In compliance.

Jeff –
Works slick, they got so thick in our sand filter building we could hardly breathe. AQUAFIX told us about the AQUABACxt and it works.

We had bad red worms in our sand filters. AQUABACxt knocked them out.
