    Product Description

    Hexaflumuron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor used to bait and eliminate termite colonies.1 Hexaflumuron spreads efficiently through entire populations through mutual exchange of liquids via regurgitation.2 Termites are unable to metabolize hexaflumuron and clearance is slow, resulting in up to 100% elimination. Hexaflumuron has also been tested for use with the raisin moth, cowpea weevil, and Asiatic rice borer with positive results.3,4 Formulations containing hexaflumuron have been used in the control of insects in residential areas.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
