DIACON® IGR inhibits growth of larvae of these insects: almond moth, Indian meal moth, lesser grain borer, sawtooth grain beetle, merchant grain beetle, red flour beetle, confused flour beetle, and other insect pests that are affected by Insect Growth Regulators (IGR’s). Treat existing insect populations with an adulticide, then apply DIACON® IGR for residual protection.
(S)-Methoprene, the active ingredient in DIACON® IGR, protects stored grains, agricultural commodities, seed, and animal feeds from damaging insects by interfering with the normal process of insect development. Unlike traditional pesticides, DIACON® IGR is not an adulticide, but its residual activity prevents the development of larvae into adults. When used according to the label directions.
