Novaluron is an insecticide of the benzoylphenyl
urea class that inhibits chitin synthesis, affecting the moulting stages of insect development. It
acts by ingestion and contact, and causes abnormal endocuticular deposition and abortive
moulting. Novaluron has been registered as an insecticide for food crops and ornamentals in a number
of countries. WHO has assessed novaluron for use as a mosquito larvicide in drinking-water
in containers, particularly to control dengue fever. The recommended dosage of novaluron in
potable water in containers should not exceed 0.05 mg/litre under the WHO Pesticides
Evaluation Scheme.

Sample Use Guides
In a test for acute oral toxicity, five male and five female mice (strain Hsd/Ola:ICR) were
given novaluron (purity, 99.3%) at a limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw (20 ml/kg) by gavage in
distilled water. There were no mortalities or clinical signs of toxicity.
