[The action of insect developmental regulators on the housedust mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart, 1897) and D. farinae Hughes, 1961 (Acari: Pyroglyphidae)].

: Whether insect growth regulators, such as methoprene, telflubenzuron and flufenoxuron, can be used to suppress the populations of the house dust mites D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae has been studied in the laboratory setting. The most potent agent has been found to be methoprene used in concentrations of 0.05 = 0.1%, in particular. Flufenoxuron at a concentration of < 0.1% has been shown to stimulate the reproduction of house dust mites.
