HIMGENT PLUS

  • Technical Name: Fipronil 5% SC
  • Mode of Action: Primarily acts as an ingestion toxicant with some complimentary contact action and acts by interfering in nerve impulse transmission. It interferes with the passage of chloride ions through the Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) regulated chloride channel, thereby disrupting CNS activity and at sufficient doses, causing insect death.
  • Features: There is target site specificity between insects and mammals, with Fipronil displaying tighter binding (i.e., higher potency) in the insect GABA chloride channel than mammals, providing useful selective toxicity. This sets Fipronil apart from most commercial insecticides Fipronil has both contact and ingestion activity, but is particularly \ effective by way of ingestion
  • Approved Pack Sizes: 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L
