How Does Fipronil 5% SC Work?
Fipronil is classified as a phenylpyrazole insecticide.
It interferes with the insect central nervous system by affecting GABA-regulated chloride channels. This disrupts normal nerve impulses, leading to loss of normal insect activity and eventual control of susceptible pests.
Fipronil 5% SC works primarily through:
Contact Action: insects are affected after coming into contact with treated plant surfaces.
Ingestion Action: susceptible insects are controlled when they feed on treated crop tissue.
