How does Imidacloprid work?

Imidacloprid is a material that is designed to mimic the properties of nicotine, a powerful neurotoxin found naturally in tobacco. The chemical works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system. Specifically, it causes a blockage in a type of neuronal pathway (nicotinergic) that is more abundant in insects than in warm-blooded animals (making the chemical selectively more toxic to insects than warm-blooded animals). This blockage leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter, resulting in the insect's paralysis, and eventually death. It is effective on contact and via stomach action

Imidacloprid 2F as a non-repellent termiticide means that multiple types of termites can not detect it to avoid it. It works through contact and ingestion; termites exposed to Imidacloprid 2F can transfer the active ingredient to unexposed nestmates. It establishes a protective barrier against termites. One 27.5 oz bottle can make up to 100 finished gallons of termiticide.

It provides a strong barrier against carpenter ants that may want to forage inside.

For a typical control situation, use a 0.05% dilution(0.3 oz per gallon of water). Use a 0.1% dilution (0.6 oz per gallon of water) when a severe or persistent infestation exists. See the label for further details on controlling wood-destroying insects.
