Imidacloprid is a popular insecticide active ingredient that is widely used in a variety of pest killing products. It can work in many forms including crop and vegetation protection, insecticide sprays, powder, and gel baits. It is a neonicotinoid insecticide ingredient. Pure imidacloprid is in the form of colorless tasteless crystal. Imidacloprid has the characteristics of high efficiency, broad spectrum, low toxicity and low residue. It has a great killing effect on ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, termites and other pests. And pests will not easily develop resistance to this ingredient. Imidacloprid has multiple modes of action such as contact, gastric and inhalation poisoning. It works primarily by blocking the insect’s neuronal pathways. When it is applied to pests, their feeding activity will stop within minutes to hours. In the next 1-2 days, the pests will be paralyzed and die since the normal transmission of the central nervous system will be blocked.

Ants:
Ants are social insects. The harms of ants can be summarized as biting, spreading disease, polluting the environment and damaging building structures. Ants cause direct economic losses through their bites and pollution. And the indirect losses by spreading diseases and endangering human health are far greater than the direct losses. Ant bites often cause red papules. As ants crawl around, they mechanically carry harmful bacteria and viruses that contaminate food, clothing, and household appliances. Ants can also damage building structures by the building of their nests or colonies.
