Solution(By Examveda Team)

Fenoxycarb and Pyriproxyfen chemical belongs to Juvenoids group.
Fenoxycarb is non-neurotoxic and does not have the same mode of action as other carbamate insecticides. It prevents immature insects from reaching maturity by mimicking juvenile hormones.
Pyriproxyfen is a pesticide which is found to be effective against a variety of insects. It is a juvenile hormone analog and an insect growth regulator. It prevents larvae from developing into adulthood and thus rendering them unable to reproduce.
