Used primarily as an insect growth regulator, it effectively controls insect populations by mimicking juvenile hormones, preventing larvae from developing into adults. It is widely applied in agriculture to protect crops from pest infestations, particularly in stored grains and produce. Additionally, it is utilized in public health programs to manage mosquito populations, reducing the spread of diseases like malaria and dengue. In veterinary medicine, it is incorporated into pet products to combat fleas by disrupting their life cycle. Its targeted action ensures minimal impact on non-target species and the environment.
