NYLAR PESTICIDES / INSECT GROWTH REGULATOR is essentially a protein. When certain insects are exposed to it early in development, they are not able to properly mature into eating or reproducing adults. Generally they have very little toxicity to mammals since it disrupts the growth and processes specific to insects. Can cause sterilization of adult insects. Nylar pesticides will last several weeks per application.

This Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) will generally have very little toxicity to mammals since it disrupts the growth and development processes specific to insects. They contain a synthetic juvenile hormone "look-alike" which disrupts the normal insect growth. It also disrupts the normal life cycle thus killing these insects. When certain insects are exposed to it early in development they are not able to properly mature into eating or reproducing adults. Nylar IGR additive is the perfect solution to stopping the cycle of clothes moths, fleas, roaches, and others.

INSECT GROWTH REGULATORS:
A trusted technology in the management of fleas is the use of the insect growth regulator (IGRs). These substances are similar to chemicals produced by the flea to regulate the shedding of its skin during molting. They work by interfering with the molting process, thus preventing the immature flea from developing into an adult. This method of control is a long-term process, since it will only kill larvae as they molt. A recent study using pyriproxyfen (sold as Nylar Pesticides), an insect growth regulator reported to be effective against several insects, examined its effectiveness against the cat flea. One problem with insect growth regulators is that they break down when exposed to light, limiting their outdoor use. In this study, Nylar pesticides were determined to be stable when exposed to light. It was found to persist in home yards for three weeks after application and to prevent development of 90% of the fleas in treated areas (Palma and Meola 1990).

FOR FLEA CONTROL:
The active ingredient in this concentrate is an insect growth regulator. it is similar to insect growth hormones that occur neutrality in insects and acts on the immature life stages of the flea, preventing the adult flea from developing Flea eggs deposited on treated areas will not develop into adult fleas. Flea larvae crawling onto treated surfaces will also not develop into adult fleas The unique properties of Nylar pesticides eliminates the flea population, when used as directed. It causes a gradual reduction and ultimate elimination of the flea population by breaking the reproductive cycle. Also, it terminates the flea life cycle and stops the development of the immature stages of the flea for 210 days preventing them from reaching the biting adult stage Existing adult fleas and flea pupae are not affected. If a high population of adult fleas are present, the use of an adulticide may be necessary for immediate control. This concentrate may also be combined with a flea adulticide.
