Chemistry:Noviflumuron
From HandWiki
Noviflumuron is an insecticide of the benzoylurea class. It is an insect growth regulator that prevents juvenile termites from developing into adults by disrupting the synthesis of chitin, the main component of an insect's exoskeleton.[1]
Noviflumuron is primarily used in termite bait products such as Sentricon.[2][3]
