What is Fipronil？
Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide. This type of insecticide exhibits high insecticide activity against pests and is highly safe for crops. In addition to its use in agriculture, it is also used for pest control in the health and animal health sectors. It boasts high efficacy, low toxicity, and a broad spectrum, with contact, stomach, and moderate systemic effects. Developed by the French company Rhône-Poulenc in 1987, it has been used continuously and continues to be optimized.
Why choose Highassay?

AgricultureIt can be used on crops such as rice, cotton, and vegetables, or on their seeds, through soil treatment, seed dressing, or spraying. It effectively controls a variety of pests (such as rice borers, cotton bollworms, and brown planthoppers). A special feature is its effectiveness against insecticide-resistant pests, and its long-lasting efficacy reduces both cost and labor.
HealthIt can effectively control pests in homes and living environments (such as cockroaches, ants, termites, and fire ants). While effective, safety considerations are important. Fipronil is harmful to humans. Therefore, careful attention should be paid to the selected concentration when using it in a home environment. Ventilate the air after use and avoid contact with skin, inhalation, or accidental ingestion.
Animal HealthIt is effective against parasites (such as lice, fleas, ticks, etc.) on cats, dogs and other animals, but there are three points you need to pay attention to. First, it can only be used on the local surface of the animal’s body and cannot be ingested by the animal, otherwise there will be a risk of poisoning; second, avoid bathing the animal with shampoo during use, as this will affect the efficacy of the drug; third, pay attention to the pollution of water sources and soil.
Fipronil VS Imidacloprid
Both Fipronil and Imidacloprid are well-known for their highly effective insecticides. While both are highly effective in the insecticide field, there are subtle differences. For example, from a human perspective, Fipronil can cause side effects, while Imidacloprid is relatively safe. From an environmental perspective, Fipronil poses greater risks than Imidacloprid. In terms of application, Fipronil is primarily used for indoor use (indoors, on pets), while Imidacloprid is primarily used for outdoor use (on crops, etc.). Therefore, it’s recommended that you choose the appropriate product based on your specific needs.

It is relatively safe for cats and dogs when used correctly, but it can be fatal to humans and other animals (such as rabbits, bees, and aquatic animals).
Fipronil destroys the insect’s central nervous system, causing convulsions and death, giving it extremely high insecticide potency.
This incident occurred because a professional insecticide company mistakenly added Fipronil to poultry detergent. This incident reminds us to pay attention to the safe use of Fipronil.
Precautions for Using Fipronil
- Fipronil is a hazardous chemical and is extremely harmful to humans. Long-term exposure can cause chronic health problems at best, and even death at worst. Therefore, be sure to take protective measures during use and pay attention to the concentration. If accidentally exposed, seek emergency treatment immediately and seek medical attention promptly in severe cases.
- Fipronil is extremely toxic to bees and aquatic life, causing death. Therefore, avoid using it in areas with water sources and beekeeping facilities.
- When used correctly, Fipronil is generally harmless to cats and dogs. However, accidental ingestion or inhalation can still pose safety concerns for cats and dogs. If you are unsure about the proper use and dosage, consult a veterinarian.
- Currently, it is most commonly used on corn in the agricultural sector. Usage instructions are as follows: First, it can be used as a seed treatment before planting. It is recommended to use a double dilution method to maximize the drug’s effectiveness, or to mix the drug with water to form a paste. Apply a uniform coating to the corn seeds before planting, and allow them to dry before sowing
