More about Neporex® 2SG Larvicide - 11 lbs
Flies can be more than just a nuisance to your livestock or poultry operation. Take control of the development of flies before they become a problem for your farm with Neporex. This highly selective solution for fly control may be applied to manure and the breeding sites of flies to control the larvae of the housefly and other fly species. The elimination of the adult fly population occurs gradually and becomes visible one to two weeks after application.
Houseflies can be expensive and dangerous to your farm. They can transmit more than 100 human and animal disease-causing organisms, including avian influenza and salmonellosis. With Neporex, you can control the development of flies before they become a problem.
Neporex is an insect growth regulator (IGR) for the control of dipterous (fly) larvae. The active ingredient, cyromazine, is from the triazine group, which as a family of pesticides is one of the least toxic to wildlife. It has a novel mode of action that disrupts the molting process, which is essential for the fly life cycle. It interferes with the chitin metabolism of fly larvae at all 3 stages, 5-7, stopping these larvae from developing and preventing the proliferation of the fly population. Additionally, Neporex has no negative impact on beneficial insects when used according to the label.
For best results, start Neporex early. Early treatment will result in better control; once high numbers of adult flies are seen, there also will be a large number of developing flies present in the manure as eggs, larvae, and pupae. Early treatment will reduce the chance of the fly population increasing above tolerable levels and will decrease the number of applications required to bring the problem under control.
