Method: Intervention study in community, with an intervention group and a control group to assess the effectiveness of ABATE 1SG larvicide application to water storage containers (excluding drinking water) in Rachgia city, Kiengiang province. Result: The effectiveness of ABATE SG larvicide was 100% after 24 hours; 100% after a month and maintains a high efficiency after 3 months (98.68%). The effectiveness of larvicide ABATE 1SG has been proven more than 3 months even in the outdoor condition of the water storage containers whose levels are often changed due to the weather. Conclusion: ABATE 1SG kills completely Aedes larvae in water storage containers after 24 hours and could eliminate Aedes larvae during the next 3 months in the outdoor conditions of the water storage containers. * Keywords: Aedes; Larvae; Mosquitoes; ABATE 1SG; Rachgia city, Kiengiang province.
