Mode of Action

GROUP 2B INSECTICIDE

Fipronil, the active ingredient in TermiForce 100SC Termiticide and Insecticide, kills insect pests by disrupting the insect nervous system via the GABA channel, acting with contact and ingestion action.

It blocks the GABA-gated chloride channels of neurons in the central nervous system preventing chloride uptake. Due to the excess chloride, neural overstimulation occurs preventing feeding with eventual death of the target insect resulting.

Fipronil movement within plants is generally upward via xylem activity, with very limited movement within the phloem. As a result of this mobility, fipronil and it’s metabolites are found mainly in the older leaves and stems (organs which are located at the top of young seedlings) with very low levels found in the floral parts and growing points of older plants.

Systemic activity appears to be more pronounced in monocot (grasses) than dicot plants.
