Fipronil (Ref: BAS 350l) |
Last updated: 23/10/2024 |
(Also known as: RPA 030) |
SUMMARY |
A broad-spectrum insecticide with both crop and animal health applications. 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. |
Data alerts |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.

|
|
An insecticide used to control a broad range of insect pests mainly in horticultural crops | |
---|---|---|
|
Ants, Beetles, Cockroaches, Fleas, Termites, Thrips, Black vine weevil and other insects | |
|
Hardy ornamentals; Non-edible ornamentals; Turf | |
|
Effective as an antiparasitic although there is growing and historic evidence of resistance in fleas. Research has shown that fipronil appeared to be a very effective alternative to existing substances in stored-grain protection however, it is not approved for such uses in the EU. | |
