N-[(4-Chlorophenyl)carbamoyl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide

Mode of Action

Diflubenzuron works by preventing the formation of chitin, a molecule necessary to the formation of an insect’s cuticle or outer shell. Insects that absorb a dose of diflubenzuron cannot form their protective outer shell and die during molting. It is particularly effective against insect larva, but also acts as an ovicide, killing insect eggs.
