Mode of Action: How Pyriproxyfen Works

Pyriproxyfen functions as a juvenile hormone analog (JHA), mimicking natural insect hormones that regulate growth and reproduction. Its primary effects include:

• Disrupting insect development – Prevents larvae from molting into mature adults.
• Sterilization of adult females – Reduces egg-laying capacity.
• Long-lasting residual activity – Continues working after application.
• Selective action – Targets specific insect species while being safe for mammals.

Does Pyriproxyfen Kill Mites?

Pyriproxyfen is primarily effective against fleas, mosquitoes, flies, and other insects, but it is not a direct acaricide (mite killer). However, it can help control mites indirectly by disrupting their reproductive cycles when used in combination with other treatments.

Advantages of Pyriproxyfen

1. Effective Against Sanitary Pests:
   • Pyriproxyfen is highly effective against flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches, controlling both larvae and adults, ensuring thorough pest management in health environments and outdoor areas.
2. Safe for Crops and the Environment:
   • With low toxicity to plants and beneficial organisms, Pyriproxyfen is ideal for use in integrated pest management (IPM) programs and environmentally sensitive areas.
3. Long-Lasting Residual Effect:
   • Pyriproxyfen offers extended protection with minimal reapplications, helping to reduce pest populations over time without frequent treatments.
4. Low Dosage Requirement:
   • Due to its high efficacy, Pyriproxyfen requires low application rates, making it cost-effective while maintaining high performance.

Pyriproxyfen Uses & Applications

1. Agricultural Pest Control

Pyriproxyfen is an effective pesticide for controlling pests in crops like:

• Cotton – Prevents whiteflies and leafhoppers.
• Citrus & Fruits – Controls scale insects and mealybugs.
• Vegetables – Reduces thrips, aphids, and whitefly populations.
• Stored Grains – Protects against beetles and moths.

2. Veterinary & Pet Flea Treatments

Pyriproxyfen is commonly found in flea control products for:

• Dogs & Cats – Used in spot-on treatments, collars, and shampoos.
• Safe for Pets – Pyriproxyfen is safe for cats and dogs when used according to manufacturer guidelines.
• Combination with Imidacloprid – Provides enhanced flea and tick protection.

3. Household & Public Health Pest Control

• Mosquito Control – Used in larvicide programs to reduce mosquito populations.
• Flea Control in Homes – Found in sprays and foggers for indoor flea elimination.
• Does Not Harm Humans – Pyriproxyfen is considered safe for humans when applied properly.

Application and Dosage

Pyriproxyfen can be used in a variety of settings, both indoors and outdoors, to control flies, mosquitoes, and other pests. Below are the recommended usage guidelines:

Crop/Site	Control Object	Dosage	Application Method
Health sites	Fly (larvae)	1 g/m²	Spray
Outdoor areas	Fly (larvae)	1.5 ml/m²	Spray
Outdoor areas	Mosquitoes, Flies, Cockroaches	0.4 ml/m²	Spray

• Application Timing: Apply at the onset of pest infestation, focusing on areas where pests are most active, including breeding sites for larvae.
• Frequency: Depending on the pest pressure and environmental conditions, reapplications may be necessary every 7-10 days.

Mixed Formulations for Enhanced Performance

1. Pyriproxyfen + Deltamethrin (5% + 5%):
   • This combination enhances the efficacy by adding deltamethrin, a fast-acting contact insecticide, providing both knockdown and residual control over a broader range of pests.
2. Chlorine Pyriproxyfen (5% Beta-Cypermethrin + 5% Pyriproxyfen):
   • This mixed formulation provides powerful control against mosquitoes and flies, combining pyriproxyfen’s juvenile hormone mimic action with the fast-acting knockdown effect of beta-cypermethrin.
3. Snail Worm (16% Spirotetramat + 8% Pyriproxyfen):
   • This formulation targets a broader range of pests, including snails and insects, offering systemic control and enhanced residual action in a variety of environments.

Storage and Safety Considerations

• Storage: Keep Pyriproxyfen stored in a well-ventilated, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed and out of reach of children and animals.
• Safety: Use protective equipment when handling the product to avoid direct skin contact and inhalation.

Is Pyriproxyfen a Pyrethroid?

No, Pyriproxyfen is not a pyrethroid. It is an insect growth regulator (IGR), whereas pyrethroids act as neurotoxic insecticides that kill insects on contact. Pyriproxyfen prevents insect reproduction rather than providing immediate knockdown.
