Mode of Action: Chitin Synthesis and Hormonal Disruption in Insect Immature Stages

Buprofezin 25% SC functions by inhibiting chitin biosynthesis and disrupting hormonal balance in immature insects, preventing successful molting and leading to death before reaching adulthood. As a non-neurotoxic insect growth regulator, it provides a highly targeted and environmentally safer solution for sanitation insect control.

Technical Mechanism

• Primary Action: Inhibits chitin synthesis, essential for insect cuticle (exoskeleton) formation
• Secondary Action: Disrupts juvenile hormone regulation, interfering with development from larva/nymph to adult
• Target Life Stages: Eggs, larvae, nymphs (no adulticidal effect)
• Insect Groups Controlled: Dipterans and other holometabolous insects, including mosquito larvae, house fly maggots, midges, and gnats

Insecticide Classification

• Mode of Action Category: Group 16 (IRAC) – Insect growth regulators (IGRs)
• Mode Type: Contact and ingestion (acts when larvae feed or absorb through cuticle)
• Systemicity: Non-systemic; acts locally at site of application without translocation

Unlike knockdown adulticides that act immediately but often require repeated application, buprofezin delivers sustainable population control by cutting off the reproductive cycle, especially in mosquito-infested stagnant water, manure pits, and organic-rich drains.

This larvicidal specificity supports public health pest control campaigns seeking safer alternatives to conventional neurotoxic insecticides, and is ideal for resistance management programs in urban sanitation.

Application Scenarios and Target Pests: Larval Suppression in Urban and Sanitary Environments

Buprofezin 25% SC is designed for targeted larval control in public health settings where insect-borne diseases and sanitary nuisances originate from organic waste and stagnant water. Its mode of action makes it especially suited for environments with recurring infestations from dipteran insects such as mosquitoes and house flies.

Primary Use Environments

Application Site	Typical Pest Targets	Function
Sewage systems, catch basins, drainage lines	Culex spp., Aedes spp., Anopheles spp. (mosquito larvae)	Break mosquito life cycle, reduce vector density
Animal housing, poultry sheds, manure pits	Musca domestica (house fly maggots), gnats, midges	Control larval development, reduce fly emergence
Composting facilities, organic waste areas	Fungus gnats, drain flies	Minimize population buildup from decaying material
Irrigation ditches, stagnant water tanks	Aquatic dipteran larvae	Safe for sensitive aquatic margins, indirect control of adult biting insects
Urban waste management zones	Multiple sanitation insects	Prevent public nuisance and breeding in high-risk areas

Secondary or Extended Applications

• Not recommended for adult mosquito or fly control, but serves as a core tool in integrated vector management (IVM) when combined with adulticides or environmental sanitation measures.
• May be used in agriculture for controlling whiteflies and leafhoppers, but in this product format (25% SC), the priority use is public hygiene pest control.

By focusing on the immature stages of common sanitary pests, Buprofezin 25% SC offers a proactive approach to infestation prevention, reducing the need for frequent adulticide spraying and supporting long-term control strategies in urban infrastructure and waste-sensitive zones.

Usage Instructions and Recommended Dosage: Practical Guidelines for Public Health Pest Control

Buprofezin 25% SC should be applied directly to insect breeding grounds where the presence of larvae or nymphs is confirmed. This includes moist, organic-rich environments and stagnant water sources typical in urban and peri-urban areas. The suspension concentrate formulation allows for easy dilution and uniform surface coverage.

Recommended Application Rates

Target Area	Dosage	Application Frequency	Notes
Mosquito breeding sites (clean or slightly polluted water)	0.2–0.3 mL/m²	Every 3–4 weeks	Apply evenly on water surface; avoid flushing
Organic-rich drains, septic systems	0.3–0.4 mL/m²	Every 2–3 weeks	Increase dosage for high organic load
Manure piles, compost areas	30 mL in 10 L water per 100 m²	As needed	Spray directly on moist, insect-active surfaces
Livestock facilities (indoors/outdoors)	25–35 mL per 100 m²	Every 2–4 weeks	Ensure contact with maggot-infested zones

Application Method

• Dilution: Mix with clean water according to recommended rates.
• Application Tools: Use knapsack sprayers, ULV foggers, or automated spray systems for larger sites.
• Timing: Apply during low light hours (morning/evening) to reduce evaporation and enhance contact with larvae.
• Surface Coverage: Ensure uniform application over potential breeding surfaces to maximize larval exposure.

Key Safety Notes

• Do not use in potable water supplies.
• Do not apply to areas with strong water flow that could carry the product into unintended environments.
• Repeat applications may be necessary depending on rainfall, breeding intensity, and sanitation efforts.

Proper use of Buprofezin 25% SC ensures consistent suppression of sanitary pests at their origin, reducing the need for reactive adulticide spraying and contributing to long-term vector reduction strategies.

Product Advantages and Technical Highlights: Targeted Larval Control with Long-Lasting Impact

Buprofezin 25% SC offers a unique mode of action and environmental safety profile that make it an ideal choice for modern vector control programs, particularly in urban sanitation and public health sectors where long-term pest reduction is required without increasing chemical burden.

Key Advantages

1. Selective Action Against Immature Insects
   Acts only on larvae and nymphs, preserving beneficial insects and non-target species, including pollinators and aquatic vertebrates when used correctly.
2. Low Toxicity to Humans and Animals
   Classified as low-risk under WHO and EPA guidelines. Safe for use around residential areas, animal facilities, and public infrastructure when label instructions are followed.
3. Long Residual Effect
   Depending on environmental conditions, a single application can remain effective for up to 3–4 weeks, reducing the frequency and labor required for re-treatment.
4. No Cross-Resistance with Common Adulticides
   As a non-neurotoxic IGR, buprofezin complements chemical classes like pyrethroids, organophosphates, or carbamates, making it suitable for resistance management in integrated vector control programs.
5. Environmentally Compatible
   Non-volatile, non-persistent, and biodegradable under normal conditions. It is not prone to leaching or long-term accumulation in soil or aquatic systems.
6. Versatile Application Across Sanitary Zones
   Equally effective in organic-rich drains, livestock areas, waste sites, and aquatic breeding habitats, offering high flexibility in operational campaigns.

By focusing on the root of insect reproduction—larval development—Buprofezin 25% SC delivers sustainable, long-term pest suppression, essential for reducing public health risks without the ecological downsides of broad-spectrum insecticides.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is Buprofezin 25% SC safe to use near people and animals?

Yes, Buprofezin 25% SC is classified as low in toxicity and is safe for use in public areas such as residential zones, animal housing, and waste treatment facilities when applied according to the label instructions. It is non-neurotoxic and does not pose harm to humans or mammals during standard use.

Q2: Can Buprofezin 25% SC be used in aquatic environments?

Yes, with caution. While buprofezin has relatively low toxicity to aquatic life, direct application to flowing water or fishponds is not recommended. It is suitable for use near stagnant water bodies, drains, and septic systems with controlled runoff.

Q3: How quickly does it work after application?

Buprofezin does not act instantly. It targets larval or nymph stages, interfering with their molting process. Visible impact typically appears within 3–7 days, with complete population interruption occurring after a full developmental cycle.

Q4: Will it kill adult mosquitoes or flies?

No. Buprofezin 25% SC only affects the immature stages (larvae or maggots). For comprehensive control, it should be used as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program alongside adulticides or sanitation interventions.

Q5: Is it systemic or contact-based?

Buprofezin is a non-systemic insecticide. It acts by contact or ingestion and does not translocate within plants or water systems. Its effect is localized at the point of application.

Q6: Can I mix Buprofezin with other insecticides?

Yes, tank-mixing is possible with other IGRs or compatible larvicides. However, avoid mixing with strongly alkaline or acidic products, and conduct a compatibility test before large-scale application.
