The invention relates to a preparation method for methoprene microcapsules. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrier preparation is carried out, namely, a polymerization reaction with a mol ratio of succinic acid, butylene glycol and lactic acid being 1:1:0.2-0.3 is carried out, and a carrier PBS-co-PLA is obtained; secondly, oil phase preparation is carried out, namely, PBS-co-PLA, methoprene and dichloromethane are weighed with a mass ratio of PBS-co-PLA, methoprene and dichloromethane being 3.5-4.5:1:10, the PBS-co-PLA carrier is dissolved in dichloromethane, after the PBS-co-PLA is dissolved in dichloromethane fully, the methoprene active compound is added and dissolved and an oil phase is obtained; thirdly, water phase preparation is carried out, deionized water is measured and taken with a mass ratio of the oil phase to the water phase being 1:5-7, an emulsifier dispersant is added in water and dissolved and a water phase is obtained; fourthly, microcapsule preparation is carried out, namely, the oil phase is added in the water phase, an oil and water mixed emulsion is obtained, an antifoaming agent is added, microcapsule suspension is prepared after curing, water washing is carried out, the supernatant is removed, and a finished product is obtained after drying. The method is simple in technology and is environmentally friendly. The obtained methoprene microcapsules have a good form, the encapsulation efficiency is 78%, the drug loading capacity is 50%, the effective release period is 30 days, the drug release amount is 94%, and the methoprene microcapsule is an ideal pesticide sustained release agent.
