We began to extract plants with apolar solvents and tested these extracts by contact and fumigation against the cotton stainer, Dysdercus cingulatus, and the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus. Eventually we found that the extract of the bedding plant, Ageratum houstonianum, contained two potent anti-juvenile hormones.

Effective doses of these derivatives against Pyrrhocoris apterus and Dysdercus cingulatus are 51 0.5,52 0.01,53 0.000 04,54 0.000 01 and 55 0,000 002 pg/insect. The latter derivative is the most potent juvenile hormone analogue known so far. Only the isomers of S-configuration of this type are active, while those containing... 

Although fipronil has a chiral, asymmetric sulfoxide group, studies have shown that there are no significant differences in activity between the two enantiomers on cotton Stainer Dysdercus cingulatus), grain weevil Sitophilus granarius) or house fly Musca domestica) [98].
