Atticus insect growth regulators are proven to disrupt the growth process of harmful pests in a variety of crops, as well as non-crop uses. The new insect growth regulators provide long-lasting control, targeting harmful pests but not beneficial species.

Reemit 0.5 G Fire Ant Bait features pyriproxyfen in a granule form that worker fire ants carry back to the colony to disturb the reproductive process. Applied in early spring or summer, Reemit offers effective season-long control and colony-free fields, pastures and groves.

Inspirato 2 F, featuring methoxyfenozide as its active ingredient, uses a unique mode of action to allow growers to target harmful pests without impacting beneficial insects, mites and pollinators.
