• Effectively controls even the most resistant
  fly populations.
• Eliminates reinfestation potential.
• Contains (s)-methoprene, an insect growth regulator
  (IGR) that prevents fly larvae from maturing.
• Nonphytotoxic - will not harm delicate mushroom mycelia or reduce mushroom yields.
• Flexible application methods fit all cultural practices.
• Environmentally responsible and cost-effective to use.

Thoroughly tested and EPA-approved, Apex® sets the standard for reliable sciarid fly control in mushroom culture. The active ingredient, methoprene, works by arresting sciarid development at the pupal stage, so adult flies never emerge. The fly population decreases with each new generation, reducing - or even eliminating - the risk of reinfestation.

Apex® is ideal for use in both commercial and noncommerial mushroom cultivation facilities. For best results, Apex® should be incorporated directly into the mushroom growing medium.
