Description

Hydroprene is a synthetic version of the insect hormone that regulates growth and development. Hydroprene can be considered as an alternative to conventional insecticides because of its specific activity against immature insect stages, low persistence in the environment, and virtually non-toxic effects on mammals. Hydroprene products are used on a variety of indoor sites including homes, offices, warehouses, restaurants, hospitals, and greenhouses.
