What is it?

Chlorfenapyr is a chemical compound developed by BASF. It belongs to the pyrrole class of pesticides and is categorized under Group 13 by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC). Chlorfenapyr is a non-systemic compound that acts as a contact insecticide and acaricide. It is generally non-selective, targeting a wide range of insect pests and mites. The primary areas of use for Chlorfenapyr include agricultural crops, greenhouses, and urban pest control, including residential and commercial buildings. The use rate of Chlorfenapyr can vary but is typically moderate.

How does it work?

Chlorfenapyr works by disrupting the cellular respiration process in pests. After being metabolized into an active form within the pest's body, it interferes with the functioning of the mitochondria, specifically by inhibiting the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is critical for energy production in cells. This results in the disruption of energy generation and eventually leads to the death of the pest. The effects of Chlorfenapyr on pests are typically seen within a few days following application.

Benefits

Chlorfenapyr is effective against a variety of pests, including hard-to-control species such as bed bugs, spider mites, and certain types of resistant insects. It is also effective against a range of caterpillars and other chewing insects. Its strength lies in its efficacy against pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides, making it a valuable tool in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
