Insecticide Pesticide Fipronil + Imidacloprid FS (125g/L+350g/L, 180g/L+360g/L)
FipronilA broad-spectrun insecticide that is no longer approved for use in the EU on crops but may be used as a veterinary treatment, for the control of parasites on animals not destined for the food chain. It has a low aqueous solubility, a low volatility and is not greatly mobile in the environment. It can be quite persistent in soil systems but is less so in aquatic and sediment systems. It is highly toxic to humans and may bio-accumulate. It is considered a neurotoxicant and both an eye and skin irritant. Fipronil is highly toxic to mammals, birds and bees but slightly less so to fish, aquatic invertebrates, aquatic plants and earthworms.
