Metaflumizone is a new chemistry (Semicarbazone) that has high activity against key insect pests. These pests include lepidoptera, coleoptera, hymenoptera, isoptera and diptera. Metaflumizone exhibits a novel mode of action and has no known cross resistance with existing products. Metaflumizone has favorable toxicological and environmental profiles and has been designated by the US EPA as a Reduced Risk Candidate. This molecule exhibits low impact on beneficial insects and is compatable with IPM and IRM practices.


Species 1: Isoptera Rhinotermitidae Reticulitermes flavipes (Eastern Subterranean Termite)
Keywords: Novel Insecticide, Semicarbazone

COMMENTS AND CORRECTIONS

  • From Fernando Suarez, Veterinary- Drugs control and Regulation Group-ICA, Colombian Agricultural Institute ( ICA), July 19, 2006
    Today we have a product registration process with one product which active ingredient is metaflumizone. Could you give us some toxicological information about this substance? thank you.

  • From chardonnet laurent, technicien, IAC, October 22, 2007
    any aplications against Boophilus microplus (cattle tick)?

  • From Inge Blevens, April 9, 2008
    I have searched the web on information on any side effects of metaflumizone and can’t find anything in plain English. The only link I found was a side link to Bio-Spot, how it caused seizures in dogs and killed many pets. However that is not the same ingredient as in this new Pro-Meris product, which has metaflumizone as the active ingredient. An honest answer would be appreciated. Can you please let us know about the side effects of metaflumizone in the use against fleas and ticks in dogs, and the consequent contact to humans? Thank you!

    This will link to a BASF toxicity report, which is the only information I have found for semicarbizone.
