What are the benefits and drawbacks of Insect hormones?

Answer 1

Using hormones to control insects is better than pesticides for several reasons.

They are often very specific to an insect or type of insect. This allows you to only affect the insects you want to affect without harming others.

Pesticides harm more than insects. They linger in the environment for a long time. They are often poisonous to plants, animals and even humans.

The cons... Not all problems or insects can be controlled by hormones.
