Sometimes wisely using science has it's place. If they can kill mosquitoes, then let them kill 'em!


And then when they're done with them,...kill off all the ticks too!!

Fenoxycarb inhibits insects in the incomplete metamorph classification from reaching sexual maturity. They remain juvenile nymphs

Methoprene interrups those insects with comlete metamorph by again disrupting sexual maturity of would be adults. Pupa dont graduate to adult because they are carrying a persistant mimic of the juvenile enzyme

Great for fleas

Used for mosquitoes too


This science has been around at least 20 years




Be cautious tossing around cliche terms like "junk science" just because you hear it often sitting around watching Court TV.

Since you have me on Ignore, you'll come off as more of a buffoon not seeing this post.

Junk science....smh

Science also released sterile Mediterranean fruit flies to control them too. It worked.

Yeah, add fleas, ticks, fireants and bedbugs and lice to the list... Kill 'em all.

SpeakIng of bed bugs...
A family member on my wife's side has worked for extermination companies for years.
According to him, the giant furniture "mart" had to treat their delivery trucks from all the old mattresses they've hauled off.
Think about THAT the next time you have something delivered... sick
