We can now see the papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Urban Pests (Budapest, 2008), including the one I most wanted to read, the (S)-methoprene article.
Enjoy.

Efficacy of (s)-Methoprene against Cimex Lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) (PDF)
Richard Naylor, Daniel Bajomi and Clive Boase:
The results presented above clearly show that (S)-methoprene exhibits classical JHA activity against bed bugs. The overall impacts on mortality, morphology, ecdysis and fecundity are comparable with those seen with other hemimetabolous insects such as cockroaches (Das and Gupta, 1974; King and Bennett, 1988). In particular, at the doses evaluated here, (S)-methoprene has relatively little impact when applied to adult bugs, but has very significant impact on the development of nymphal bed bugs.
