S-Methoprene , as an insect growth regulator, can be used to control various pests, including mosquitoes, flies, midges, grain storage pests, tobacco beetles, fleas, lice, bedbugs, bullflies, and mushroom mosquitoes. The target pests are at the delicate and tender larval stage, and a small amount of the drug can take effect. Resistance is also not easy to develop. As a lipid compound, It has chemical stability and anti-degradation properties in insects. When enolate is combined with others.
S-Methoprene are composed only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Carbon-14 atom tracing studies have shown that enthronates in soil, especially under ultraviolet light, will rapidly degrade into naturally occurring acetate compounds and eventually decompose into carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, the impact on the environment is negligible.
Compared with traditional neurotoxic insecticides, the non-toxicity of enolate to vertebrates is a significant advantage. Its main limitation lies in the fact that it has no killing effect on adult insects, but it can cause sublethal effects such as reduced reproductive capacity, vitality, heat tolerance and egg-laying effect.
