1. Fipronil 0.05% Gel (Household/Structural Pest Control)
This formulation is designed for targeted, indoor, and commercial use to eliminate cockroaches and ants.
- Highly Effective Control: It works by attracting insects to consume the gel, which is then carried back to the nest, creating a "domino effect" that eliminates the colony.
- Convenience & Safety: It is easy to apply directly to cracks, crevices, and hiding spots in kitchens or near electrical appliances.
- Low Impact/Low Odor: It causes no disturbance or discomfort, making it ideal for homes, restaurants, hospitals, and offices without needing to leave the premises.

- Plant Growth Enhancement (PGE) Effect: Beyond killing pests, it is known to act as a growth stimulant, increasing root development, promoting more productive tillers (shoots), and improving overall crop vigor.
- Long-Lasting Soil Protection: The granular form allows for slow release into the soil (rhizosphere), providing prolonged protection against root pests.
- Ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM): It is effective against insects that have developed resistance to other insecticide classes.
