Biopren is a public health insecticide for controlling mosquito larvae in stagnant water. It comes as direct-application tablets (DT) that dissolve in water and contain the active ingredient S-Methoprene, an insect growth regulator that prevents larvae from developing into adult mosquitoes.
Key Features
- Insect growth regulator (IGR) that disrupts the hormonal balance needed for molting and development.
- Larvae fail to complete their life cycle and never become adult mosquitoes.
- Targets larvae of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens.
- Ready-to-use tablets placed directly in water.
- Does not affect adult mosquitoes; use alongside adulticide treatments where needed.
