Product Information

Fipronil is classed as a WHO Class II moderately hazardous pesticide, and has a rat acute oral LD 50 of 97mg/kg. Fipronil is one of the most longstanding weapons in our pet flea-control armoury. Developed by the French pharmaceutical company Rhône-Poulenc in the 1980s, fipronil was first marketed for treating fleas on dogs in the US by Frontline in 1996. Because fipronil is widely sold for controlling other household pests too (it’s the main ingredient in Termidor for example), I’m going to stress the obvious now: only ever use a fipronil product designed for dogs on your dog. How effective is fipronil for dogs? Because of its effectiveness on various pests, fipronil is used as the active ingredient in flea control products for pets and home roach baits as well as field pest control for corn, golf courses, and commercial turf. Its widespread use makes its specific effects the subject of considerable attention. This includes ongoing observations on possible off-target harm to humans or ecosystems as well as the monitoring of pesticide resistance development. [4] Physical properties [ edit ]

In New Zealand, fipronil was used in trials to control wasps ( Vespula spp.), which are a threat to indigenous biodiversity. [10] It is now being used by the Department of Conservation to attempt local eradication of wasps, [11] [12] [13] and is being recommended for control of the invasive Argentine ant. [14] The main insecticide product using Fipronil sold in New Zealand is Vespex by Merchento. [13] Under the trade name Regent, it is used against major lepidopteran (moth, butterfly, etc.) and orthopteran (grasshopper, locust, etc.) pests on a wide range of field and horticultural crops and against coleopteran (beetle) larvae in soils. In 1999, 400,000 hectares were treated with Regent. It became the leading imported product in the area of rice insecticides, the second-biggest crop protection market after cotton in China.
