PLINAZOLIN® technology: A novel isoxazoline chemistry, its mode of action and potential applications in urban pest management

Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor 3

PLINAZOLIN® technology is a unique, proprietary isoxazoline insecticide working as an antagonist of the GABA receptor in the insect nervous system. It is non-repellent and works both by contact and feeding. With high potency and a slight delay in action, PLINAZOLIN® technology provides broad spectrum control of economically important pests. On key household and public health pests such as German cockroaches, Argentine ants, Pavement ants, Black carpenter ants, ticks, fleas, houseflies, and bed bugs etc. it provided excellent control when used at practical application rates.
Given its activity both via contact & ingestion, non-repellency, favorable toxicological profile, and good residual performance, PLINAZOLIN® technology has great potential to be used in urban pest management. No cross-resistance has been observed to other known classes of chemistries till date.
