Vapor-phase (S)-methoprene alters cuticular hydrocarbons in the Argentine ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), is one of the world’s most damaging invasive species. Current control strategies for L. humile rely on neurotoxic insecticides; however, their use is increasingly limited due to their environmental impacts ...

Methoprene, a Juvenile Hormone Analog, Causes Winter Diapause Elimination in Univoltine Bee Species Osmia bicornis L. [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Osmia bicornis syn. O. rufa is a univoltine bee species in which adults fly in spring and the offspring overwinter as cocooned imagoes. The flight period of solitary bees is short, so methods of control for development and emergence time are needed to ...

Juvenile hormone (JH) esterase of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus is not a target of the JH analog insecticide methoprene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Juvenile hormones (JHs) are essential sesquiterpenes that control insect development and reproduction. JH analog (JHA) insecticides such as methoprene are compounds that mimic the structure and/or biological activity of JH.
