Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator that affects the physiology of morphogenesis, reproduction and embryogenesis of insects. It exhibits a high level of activity against mosquito larvae inhibiting adult emergence at very low dose rates. It has low mammalian toxicity and environmental impact. ...

SumiOne® (common name metofluthrin, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methoxymethylbenzyl (E,Z) (1R,3R)-2,2dimethyl-3-(prop-1-enyl) cyclopropane carboxylate) is a novel vapor active pyrethroid that is effective against mosquitoes. Impregnated paper substrates have been shown to be effective at dispensing metofl...

Laboratory comparisons of pyrethroid toxicities on a range of insect pests demonstrated greater kill activity than expected for the photolabile allethrin series compounds relative to other pyrethroids. Further investigation in chamber and warehouse trials confirmed the utility of S-bioallethrin in s...

Commercial bait products are becoming increasingly important for household and industrial pest control. The advantages of baits are widely acknowledged and include convenience and ease of use, discrete placement of the insecticide, reduced environmental contamination and minimal disruption to the cu...
