9) Application: Fenoxycarb is a carbamate insect growth regulator, it blocks the ability of an insect to change into an adult from the juvenile stage (metamorphosis). It also interferes with the molting of larvae. Insects have a rigid external covering called exoskeleton. In order to grow and mature, insects must periodically shed or molt their old exoskeleton and produce a new, larger one; Fenoxycarb is nearly non-toxic to mammals. It is used as a fire ant bait and for flea, mosquito and cockroach control. Fenoxycarb can also be used to control butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), scale insects, and sucking insects on olives, vines, cotton and fruit. It is also used to control these pests on stored products. Fenoxycarb is often formulated as a grit or corncob bait. Dosage: 0.006%~0.0025% active ingredient application.
