Pyriproxyfen Insecticide

Pyriproxyfen is a broad-spectrum insect growth regulator (IGR) widely used in agriculture, public health, and veterinary applications. It works by disrupting the insect life cycle, preventing larvae from maturing into reproductive adults. Unlike traditional insecticides that kill on contact, Pyriproxyfen offers long-term population control by halting insect reproduction.
