Termidor® Insect Mortality Transfer: A review of 25 years of testing

Termidor® SC Termiticide/Insecticide and Termidor® 80 WG Termiticide/Insecticide  (active ingredient = fipronil; class = phenyl pyrazole) attained US-EPA approval in 1999 as termiticides. Since that time, multiple formulations (Termidor® Dry Termiticide Termidor® Foam Termiticide/Insecticide, Termidor® HE Termiticide and Termidor® HPII Termiticide) have been successfully used against many different arthropod structural pests. Over a 25-year period, numerous tests have been performed, arguably none gaining more attention than those documenting dose transfer in social organisms. From radio-labeled fipronil to field tests with Termidor, we review the history of Termidor product transfer tests. Here-in, this paper discusses the results of various lab and field transfer tests of termite and ant interactions with Termidor.
