Chemical compound
Pyriproxyfen is a pesticide which is found to be effective against a variety of insects.[3] It was introduced to the US in 1996, to protect cotton crops against whitefly. It has also been found useful for protecting other crops.[4] It is also used as a prevention for flea control on household pets, for killing indoor and outdoor ants and roaches.[5] Methods of application include aerosols, bait, carpet powders, foggers, shampoos and pet collars.[6]
Pyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone analog and an insect growth regulator.[7] It prevents larvae from developing into adulthood and thus rendering them unable to reproduce.[8]
In the US, pyriproxyfen is often marketed under the trade name Nylar.[9] In Europe, pyriproxyfen is known under the brand names Cyclio (Virbac)[10] and Exil Flea Free TwinSpot (Emax).
