Methoprene is an amber-colored liquid with a faint fruity odor which is essentially nontoxic to humans when ingested or inhaled. It is used in drinking water cisterns to control mosquitoes which spread dengue fever and malaria.
Usage: Methoprene is used as a food additive in cattle feed. This is done to prevent fly breeding in the dung piles.
Methoprene is also widely used in flea and tick control products for dogs and cats.
