Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole insecticide class. [3] Fipronil disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking the ligand-gated ion channel of the GABA A receptor (IRAC group 2B) and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of contaminated insects' nerves and muscles.

An insect growth regulator (IGR) is a chemical insecticide that kills insects indirectly by disrupting their life cycles. [1] The term was initially proposed to describe the effects of juvenile hormone analogs. [2] Although the term "insect growth disruptor" more accurately describes the actions of IGRs, it did not become widely used. [1]
BPUs accounted for 3% of the $ 18.4 billion world insecticide market in 2018. [3] Lufenuron, was the largest selling BPU in 2016, selling for $ 112 million.

Methoprene is a juvenile hormone (JH) analog which acts as a growth regulator when used as an insecticide (IRAC group 7A). It is an amber-colored liquid with a faint fruity odor. Methoprene does not kill insects. Instead, it interferes with an insect’s life cycle and prevents it from reaching maturity or reproducing. [2]
