Powered by triflumuron, it interrupts chitin formation and prevents successful moulting, breaking the insect life cycle before adults can develop and reproduce. Unlike conventional adulticides, Starycide® SC 480 targets immature stages, making it an ideal complement to residual insecticide programmes. It is effective against mosquito larvae, fly larvae, flea larvae and immature cockroaches, helping deliver more sustainable and long-term pest management results.

Breaks the insect life cycle

• Prevents immature insects from developing into reproductive adults, helping stop population growth at the source.

Highly effective insect growth regulator

• Contains triflumuron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor that disrupts moulting and larval development.

Broad-spectrum larval control

• Effective against multiple nuisance and public-health pests during their juvenile stages.

Ideal partner for adulticide treatments

• Complements residual and space-spray insecticides by targeting life stages that adulticides do not control.

Long-term population suppression

• Helps prevent re-infestation by interrupting insect reproduction and recovery.
