- Starycide 480 SC is a specialized insecticide from the insect growth regulator (IGR) class. It contains triflumuron 48 g/L. It inhibits the formation of chitin, the substance responsible for building the insect's outer shell. This stops the growth of immature insects such as larvae and nymphs, preventing them from molting or reproducing, leading to their gradual death. It is long-lasting and effective against cockroaches, fleas, flies, and silverfish, and is used effectively in homes, restaurants, hospitals, factories, warehouses, and all residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
