Also, between 90 and 95 percent of this larvicide is excreted in the urine within 48 hours and tested in prenanat laboratory animals, no apparent impact on their offspring.

FWIW - the hormone system (biological pathway) involved with pyriproxyfen and invertebrates - does not exist in mammals. Humans are mammals. Fish are not invertebrates, either.

@OmCheeto - I think it is time to stop. You are off-base, considerably. Here is the last link I'm providing - this is written for non-biologists - I'm certain you can read it. The point is that the kind of stuff you are posting is essentially a destructive point of view. "Monsanto" and some other stuff you mention has got zilch to do with the issues at hand. You are delving into too many logical fallacies. Period. Please stop. Thanks.
