Fipronil

Fipronil is a chemical used as an insecticide to control pests like fleas, ants, and termites. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Fipronil is applied in agriculture, veterinary treatments (such as flea control for pets), and during pest management in homes and buildings. While effective against pests, it can pose ecological and health risks if misused or improperly handled. Proper application and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to minimize potential environmental impact and human exposure.
