(S)-Hydroprene

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Mimicking juvenile hormone (JH)

Common Product Names: Tekko Trio Foam

What is it?

(S)-Hydroprene is a synthetic compound designed to mimic the natural juvenile hormones in insects. Unlike traditional insecticides, which target the nervous system or other vital functions, (S)-Hydroprene works by interfering with the insect's developmental process. It is particularly effective against pests like cockroaches, fleas, and stored product pests. (S)-Hydroprene is favored in situations where long-term control is desired, as it prevents the next generation of pests from reaching maturity. While (S)-Hydroprene doesn't produce immediate results, visible reductions in pest populations can typically be observed within 1 to 2 weeks after application. Full control may take several weeks, depending on the pest species and environmental conditions.

How does it work?

(S)-Hydroprene works by disrupting the normal development of insect larvae and nymphs. When insects are exposed to this compound, their ability to transition from one developmental stage to the next is compromised. For instance, cockroach nymphs exposed to (S)-Hydroprene may fail to molt properly, leading to physical deformities or death before reaching adulthood. In some cases, it causes sterilization in adult insects, preventing them from reproducing.

Benefits

  • Long-lasting Control: Due to its residual activity, (S)-Hydroprene provides extended protection against pest infestations.
  • Targeted Action: It specifically targets the immature stages of insects, ensuring that they do not mature and reproduce.
  • Reduced Adult Insecticide Usage: By preventing the development of adult insects, there is often a reduced need for more aggressive chemical insecticides.
  • Safety: (S)-Hydroprene is considered to be a lower-risk pesticide, making it suitable for use in sensitive environments like homes and food storage areas.
  • Part of IPM: It integrates well with other pest control methods, making it a key component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies.
