mostly juvenile hormone analogs and mimics.
In both indoor and outdoor commercial pest control management, there is
an increasing need for insect growth regulators. To get rid of fleas,
mosquitoes, and other insects can be combined with pesticides. In order
to stop them from developing into adult egg-laying insects, insect growth
regulators stop the development of the juvenile stages of the targeted
insects, such as ants, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, litter beetles,
and flying insects. They also have minimal toxicity levels, and some of
them can even be used in restaurants.
The primary market restraints are the low knockdown effect and lower
efficacy in eliminating adult insects. The knockdown effect is seen after
combining an IGR with other crop protection chemicals, such as
insecticides or pesticides because the active ingredient in an IGR is
intended to work on reproductive processes particular to insects. Hence,
when insect growth regulators are used as a standalone method of
treatment, a longer period is required for an IGR to be effective. These
regulators have a poor knockdown impact compared to other pest control
agents, which can be attributed to these considerations.
