Methoprene

Description:
Methoprene, with the CAS number 40596-69-8, is an insect growth regulator (IGR) commonly used in pest control. It mimics the action of juvenile hormone in insects, disrupting their development and preventing them from maturing into adults. This characteristic makes it particularly effective against various pests, including fleas, ticks, and certain agricultural insects. Methoprene is typically applied in formulations such as sprays, granules, or as a part of bait systems. It is known for its low toxicity to mammals, birds, and beneficial insects, making it a preferred choice in integrated pest management strategies. The substance is stable under normal environmental conditions but can degrade when exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. Methoprene is also characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, which influences its application and effectiveness in different environments. Overall, its selective action and safety profile contribute to its widespread use in both residential and agricultural settings.
