Dimilin 2 TB with diflubenzuron  is a insecticide in form of tablets  for destroying mosquito larvae.

It inhibits chitin synthesis, as the larvae cannot free themselves from their old chitin shell or the new one is fragile and underdeveloped. DIMILIN 2 TB is applied to the breeding site of mosquito larvae. The end result is death at or shortly after molting, and adult mosquitoes are unable to fly. Extremely low toxicity to mammals, fish and other aquatic life. Residual effect – up to 27 days.
