S-methoprene Prolink Granules - ACTIVE CONSTITUENT: 15 g/kg (S)-METHOPRENE

S-Methoprene is an Insect Growth Regulator - IGR's are classified as biorational control agents, controlling insects by interrupting normal development. ProLink GRANULES, when submerged in water, release (S)-methoprene for up to 21 days, preventing the emergence of adult mosquitoes including common Aedes, Culex and Ochlerotatus spp. from treated sites. Treated larvae continue to develop normally to the pupal stage after which they fail to emerge.

Unlike conventional pesticides, (S)-methoprene is not a direct toxin. It is target-specific and does not harm mammals, waterfowl, or even beneficial predatory insects. In fact, methoprene has been recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the use in drinking water supplies to control container-breeding mosquitoes in developing countries.

(S)-methoprene has no effect on mosquitoes which have reached the pupal or adult stage prior to treatment.

Due to current New Zealand registration we can only supply S-methoprene to specific commercial clients at this time. Please send us an enquiry. MSDS
