I cannot answer your question, but is an IGR appropriate action before
bringing in plants?

Most IGRs do not kill adults, so any insects landing on your plants after
your treatments might just come right in untouched.

I would think that an out-and-out killer insecticide just before bringing
them in would be a better choice, followed by the IGR to prevent maturation
of eggs and larvae the insecticide missed.



That's pretty much what I plan to do; I just wonder about the safety
of liquid pyriproxyfen.

Thanks.
