Odorless, non-repellent formulation with the active ingredient (S)-Hydroprene, that prevents immature bed bugs from becoming normal reproductive adults. The formulation works for you by stopping future generations of infestations. The formulation has an excellent toxicity profile and is approved for use in sensitive accounts.
The formulation works on bed bugs, as in cockroaches, by preventing the nymphs from developing into reproductively functioning adults. Electron microscopy shows that in cockroaches and in bed bugs the organs responsible for normal copulation and reproduction do not develop. In the case of male bed bugs, the paramere, or reproductive organ, fails to develop normally. As a result, successful copulation cannot occur.
In studies generated to satisfy EPA registration requirements, The formulation provided efficacy by inhibiting the development of the next generation of nymphs by 92%. In other words, nymphs exposed to The formulation treatment were unable to reproduce. Mortality was also observed in this study where 66% of the exposed nymphs failed to survive to adults. Of those surviving to adults, reproduction was significantly reduced by 92% from the untreated control population. There was an average of 3 nymphs produced vs. an average of 61 produced in the untreated control group.
