Abstract
Compositions and methods for controlling pests are disclosed. The compositions comprise a solid particulate chitin synthesis inhibitor and methods of using the chitin synthesis inhibitor to control a target pest. The chitin synthesis inhibitor is active in its solid form, and provides control of current and future pest generations independent of application timing with respect to insect life stage.
