Description

Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator that interferes with the development of insects. It is a synthetic compound that acts as a juvenile hormone analog, disrupting the molting process in insects. This disruption prevents insects from reaching their adult stage, ultimately controlling their population. Pyriproxyfen is widely used in agriculture to control pests, and it is also found in some household products, such as flea and tick treatments for pets. Studies on pyriproxyfen focus on its effectiveness in pest control, its potential environmental impact, and its safety for humans and animals. The compound's unique mode of action makes it an important tool for managing insect populations, especially in light of growing insecticide resistance. Research is ongoing to further understand its effects on different insect species and its potential for integrated pest management.'

Toxicity

The World Health Organization has established an acceptable daily intake of pyriproxyfen to be 100 μg per kg of body weight per day. At elevated doses there are adverse effects in mice, rats and dogs. According to the maximum residue limits (MRLs) and acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), the final residues of beta-cypermeth are less toxic than the parent compounds.
